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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

View of a Spanish village (Campo de Criptana). I decided to add some filters to make it look a bit like a painting.

These work for me though I think I would have left the blue sky clean. Wonderful anyway!

Are you in Spain at the moment or is this from a previous visit?

Nice one Zafra. A good use of the treatment for the effect you were going for.

You could always just tell people it was taken at night time with a high ISO of 13107200.
With some of the new cameras these days this wouldn't be far from reality....

Thank you all for your kind comments. I took the picture above around this time last year. I was in Spain visiting my family (all of them live over there) and a friend and his wife told me that they were going to take me in their car to the La Mancha region (famous for cheese, wine, the fictitious don Quixote of the musical, novel and ballet) for a day out of the "big smoke". At the top end of this village there are a few windmills (I already put a picture last year, I think), but I also wanted a general view of the small "pueblo". I couldn't get the village with its the windmills in the background from afar without a few ugly industrial structures. However, I was able to get this view from the top and I wanted to give it a "painting" feel to it as I might want in due course to print it and hang it on a wall once I settle down in my new apartment. The original picture itself hasn't got any "noise" - not noticeable. This is the photo re-done with the same process except, for the sponge filters and the vibrancy.

I love visiting Spain, and do so as often as I can. Can't beat pan con tomate and Spanish espresso for breakfast...

It was a perfect image for adding some artistic filtration to.

Thank you Matt. Ozi, there is a perfect breakfast very fashionable nowadays consisting of a slide of bread (pan di casa or pasta dura would do), toped with a few drops of good Spanish olive oil, tomato slides and some slides of Jamon Serrano (Spanish equivalent of the Italian prosciutto, but more flavoursome) accompanied as you mentioned with a good strong coffee (espresso). Que aproveche! (enjoy!)
