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.

G'day all,
Recently joined this forum and haven't posted before, only got my D70 a couple of months ago, just learnin' da ropes now.... The camera's not the problem, it's the lack of skill from the driver 
Anyway, wasn't sure where to post a general "G'day with pics" post, so I hope I'm in the right spot. I'll blame Gary if I get beat up 
These are from a recent trip to NSW (I live in Melbourne), a few days in Katoomba and a couple of days camping in the Blue Mountains, wow... What a place...
Anyway, the examples are small jpegs but hope you like 'em...
Any advice is appreciated, as I find the hard part is anything requiring skill (ie: composition), the camera does a great job at recording what was there...

You have a really good understanding of foreground interest. These are some nice photos. Thanks for sharing.

Great photos!
I was expecting to see the usual 3 Sisters - EchoPoint-Katoomba shots...
Very refreshing! 
Great use of foreground, love composition.
Congrats!

Welcome mudder
Some nice shots...you certainly get around?
Those damn pop-ups on your site scare the hell out me. Are they harmless?

G'day again all,
Thanks for the postive feedback guys... (Hmmm, wonder if they're being gentle with me...) Ahh well...
Had a blast, getting a few of them printed (five @ 16X20, one @ 20x30) so it'll be interesting to see how they turn out... Although I forgot to up the resolution as an experiment in NC before sending off to printers....
Any suggestions for free pic hosting sites??? Photobucket seems OK but the popups annoy people... I don't get them though, assumedly due to the "pop-up blocker" in XP Service Pack 2?
Thanks and cheers all...

Great pics mudder - certainly, considering the harsh sunlight conditions that are generally unfavourable for photography.
And it was certainly nice NOT to see the three sisters and typical echo point tourist shots. You've got a creative eye.

great shots Mudder. I like the sunrise and the pano shot the best - did you print either?
The group will be able to suggest a number of image hosting sites but I sometimes use

It is in the early stages - I will finish the site after Uni exams. No cost or pop-ups and no bandwith/download limits. Feel free to create an account and upload as many pictures as you like.

Hi Mudder
You are free to upload whatever file size you like - don't forget that there are still people who connect to the internet via a dial-up account and if you upload files that are HUGE then they will have to be very patient while waiting for them to download (lucky for me I have a 1.5 connection).
If you are using a program such as photoshop, you can use the save for web option.
I am sure that other members will be able to offer suggestions as to what file sizing they use.
Cheers
Kristine

Couldn't help but laugh...
Added my first couple of pics to your web-site (thank you!) and it appears as though the lowest numerical file becomes the users' icon...
Check out the "user gallery page", see what I mean... I love it... It's great...
Cheers,
Mudder

Hey Mudder
Those are some really nice images. I will look into the user icon issue over the weekend and sort it out. I am sure it is some simple configuration setting that I just need to alter.
Like I said previously - I will finish "tweaking" the site after my final exams.
Any other problems or suggestions with the site - just let me know (this goes for colours that I can use for the final site as well).
Cheers
Kristine
