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.

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.

I dont know if this can be classified as being creative or not but i quite liked this shot on the angle. Not one for the photography purists i guess.

I like it and don't like it at the same time. :shock:

What I like are the colours and the reflection, however I dont' like the angle as the tilt for me isn't exaggerated enough. I would have preferred the angle to be at least 20 degrees. The shallow angle gives too much ground for the horizon police to come in and slap you with a ticket :D

Understand what you were going for, but I think it would have looked better if on the level with slightly more blue foreground and slightly more saturation...

Also - this maybe me, but I find that your method of putting your copyright and Exif data underneath detracts from the photo...
Cheers, John

I agree with Leekie
Your name and EXIF much too loud. Keep it subtle. Love the image concept. The tilt needs a reason....something in the foreground maybe, but nice and sharp and the colours pop.

I love the colours and reflection, but the tilt is too great for my liking...

I dont mind the EXIF data, but the bright yellow copyright is a bit much. Maybe a subtle white will do the trick

Personally I don't bother (YET)... I include my copyright as a comment in the EXIF, but apart from that, don't really bother... At the moment, I'd probably treat it as a compliment if someone ripped off one of my images... If I ever become famous, I'd probably reduce the resolution of web-images so that they are useless for printing and / or include a subtle copyright watermark...
Amongst others, the watermark used by Kerry Pierce is a good example of what I mean...
Any watermark needs to be positioned so that it can't be easily cropped out and doesn't detract too much from the image.

I prefer the new script big time!

For me a bit more of a tilt is needed to make the shot, close tho :)
