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.

Woke up this morning to snow falling in Hobart. Fairly unique occurrence, especially considering how close we are to the river.

A veritable winter wonderland.

I'm waiting for it to snow in Sydney. Then I can pull the roof down on the convertible and torment Sycamore #1.

Hi John,
Interesting to see it snowing in Hobart, I was there in June and it was very cold.
I like the 3rd picture of the daffidil (Spelling?) it could maybe benefit from a little fill flash or boost in PS.
The images make's me feel homesick :(

Great shots there John. Bel and I toured Tassie in a campervan a few years back and it's one of my favourite, if not most favourite holidays ever...we had a great time - a beautiful place!! Keep up the great work and don't stop posting! Cheers,
Geoff

Awesome. I am glad i am not there though. Too cold for me.

So much for Global Warming.

There is something magical about snow falling though.

Beautiful pics!

I was waiting patiently all day for it to snow in Melbourne, but it all happened around me. Victoria experienced some great falls in South Gippsland, and around the Great Ocean Road. Even Phillip Island got a dusting! Magical stuff! Had the D70 sitting on the dining table ready to grab.....that's where it stayed, unfortunately.

Thanks for the comments all.
I did a bit more work on the poor overloaded daffodill. I think this one looks better.
