Space city?

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.

If I'm right as to where this is, there are many spots there that give the impression of a space colony - it's a really cool spot that I haven't made it out to with the camera! Thanks for the reminder!

While I like the concept, I think I agree with Glen in that the IR didn't really add that much to the feeling in this case. I quite like the angle, and the darkness of the sky - and the b&w treatment of the subject works well (I think I read somewhere else in the last couple of days someone else commenting on how b&w really works well for sparse/industrial type subjects).

Can't be space if there's cloud innit?

Just joking!

Nice shot - I really like it. Wish it's bigger.

I like the IR effect, I would like to see in in B&W tho. I like the sterile spacey feeling that IR gives off, which I think would be lost in B&W.

Where is this???? Would love a bigger version too ;)

Hey - this isn't the stair well/ramp at the Sydney Olympic stadium is it?

I love it - Very futuristic shot - and you're probably feeling very 'spaced out' by the time you've climbed all the way up there as well :wink:
