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.

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.

Some more from Pyrmont Walk

Postby Mr Darcy on Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:25 am

My first posts from the Anniversary Weekend walk were here
Here are some more

Apart from THAT tower, this could have been taken in 1933:

I was very taken by the layers of the city that we saw. This encapsulated that feeling:

The underbelly of THAT bridge has some fascinating geometry:

More patterns. I had a great deal of difficulty chooing the rotation for this shot. In the end, I went for teh horizontAl at the base of the yellow tower. I am still not sure it was the best choice:

C&C invited

I like this one, I did not even look that way when walking up there! the idea of city layers is great, I would just straighten this one up - i think it needs about 0.5 degree CW, this could however just be me :P

The first image does have that old skool feeling, I reckon cloning that control tower pout would be the ticket...

Greg,

The first two of these are excellent.

Yes, somebody needs to do something about that awful tower. Volunteers?

I like the first and the last Greg.
I agree the first would be enhanced without the tower.

Now if only my PP skills were up to that. I'd have had to use C4 :shock:

A great improvement. Glad you stole that heater too. May it keep you warm at night :)
I actually liked it in the original as it echoed the tower.

:rotfl2:

All i did was use the clone stamp tool in photochop - it was pretty straightforward since it was clear what was behind the tower an dthe worst was in clear sky.
the heater just involved some trial an error to get the tracks to look semi normal. I varied the brush size and had about 20% hardness from memory.. hope that helps

The more I look at the picture the more it does remind me of the old skool image style - well done :up:
