Calm day in Launceston

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I like this shot, but think it could be even better with a bit more green to the trees. Were they really this yellow/brown - it just seems to me that with all that water they'd be really lush.

nice image ...... great location....... but if you get lower and closer to the water line say about 20 to 30cm above the water this shot will have a lot more impact........ and a bit more pp

Thanks for the feedback Peter and bp.

This was taken a couple months ago before I changed from jpegs to raw, so the wb may be a bit wrong and it's a bit harder to adjust when you haven't got the raw.

I'll go back to the original image and see if I can improve on it (or go back to Launceston and take it again).

Good suggestion about getting lower to water bp. (the Launceston option is looking the one, not sure if I can get lower to the water in photoshop)


Cheers :)
