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.

this one is excellent, the walkway to the house gives an added dimension to an already surreal image.

nicely spotted.

All 3 are good shots, Kingsley, but I liked the one in portrait orientation the best. Nicely done. :D

Out of the three, the one looking straight-on is by far the best - I like :)

I'd love to see this on a tripod, with a longer exposure. Did you use a CP? Also, maybe try adding some graduation in the sky.

Keep 'em coming :)

Thank for your comments,I have to admit to only noticing how the walkway seems to float,after I looked at the shot on the computer.

Still pleased with the shot.

Thanks,yes it is a bit blue!Has a blue cast which I now can see on the parts of the hut which should be white! Didn't do any post processing,if I adjust the levels I can get rid of the cast,might repost.

Shot was taken yesterday at about 11am,wouldn't that be funny if you were going past.

A Q for you,do you know what the hut is used for?and does it have a name?

Cheers

Graham

CP? is that a circular poloriser? if so did use one,just got the filter the other day so need a bit of practice.

It was hand held.
A longer exposure,would that have blurrer the river?What other effect would it have,

Thanks for your comments folks
