Lonely woman

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.

Forum rules
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.

Hi guys,

I was in a pub at the rocks on Sunday afternoon and this entire section was empty apart from the 1 woman looking out the window.
Thought it might make a good shot?
Critique and comments welcomed.

I think Bob's right - The Australian, although I don't remember.
It's the one on the corner, two levels and they sell pints of beer! :D

It is the Australian Hotel... One of the only bars in Sydney that sells only Australian brewed beers...

Nice pics Matt... are they crops of the same shot???

I actually prefer the first one as you can see the rest of the room in the mirror... A little more grain and blur might add to the effect that I think you were trying to achieve...
Cheers, John

They used to have the famous Burrogorang Bock, made by Geoff Sharrer at Picton. He owned this pub too. There's an upstairs that's worth having a look at, too.

They still do - and you can even order mini-casks of it - to be picked up at the Australian Hotel...

You see some interesting arguments there between bar staff and people who don't know any other beer than Sol or Heineken or Becks (all of which they don't sell)...
Cheers, John

No they are two seperate shots taken in succession. Trying to get the most out of the limited time I had before she noticed and looked at me.

Lovely beers there. perhaps we should arrange a mini meet there and spend a nice Sunday afternoon drinki....i mean photographing.

I note that the people who know all about hotels and drinking are also the ones who have time to be on the net on a workday afternoon.......
