Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

great shot.......but for me I think it can do with a bit more contrast to make it a bit more dramatic.......that is if you like that sort of thing..... the person in the shot gives it great depth......

A bit dark, soft. I like the picture, and the style of shot. Very pretty!

Shot @ f/16 you'd expect it to not look too soft, weird it looks that 'fuzzy'

Thanks for the critique guys.. I've rehashed inital the 'save to web' JPG which didn't quite match my TIF file and did a little adjust.. I've since resaved it as a JPG and looks a bit better (mind you I did the inital PP at 5:30am with little sleep which might have something to do with the quality :) )

Here's the edit..

Now I'm going to be a total pain. I like the sharpness better of #2, but think #2 is now too bright.

The clouds make it seem dark, the path is long and goes for infinity, it has a dark feel to it in my mind, somewhere inbetween 1 & 2.

Whatever what tho, it's still a very nice capture and I feel better for seeing it @ all!
