Germany...

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 Bindii,

Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof - toll !
Frankfurt main train station - great !

Strassenbahn - auch toll.
Tram - also great !

Weinachtsmarkt mit Schwenkgrill - noch besser !
Christmas market with swinging grill - even better !

Great fotos, great memories for me.
Do you have German connections ?

Cheers,
CD

Ah...your from Frankfurt then! My grandfather was German...but sadly he passed away when I was a teenager...so no more German Connections for me I am afraid...I was lucky enough to be able visit Frankfurt while on holiday just before xmas though....beautiful place...and i had a ball taking photo's there.....sooo many potentially brilliant shots to be taken....sooo little time..:(

And thank you everyone for the critque...I wasn't too sure on the selective colour for the car at first...I seem to be'going off' selective colour of late but I thought I would give it a go on this shot...I'm glad that it seems to have worked ok then...

Hi Bindii,

I was born in Frankfurt but moved away very soon.
Have you been to the Roemer, the Zoo, the Palmengarten and other places ?
Did you get a Bembel ? (ceramic jug - good for apple wein (cider))
Are there more photos to come ?
Hopefully I'll be going over there end of June including July.

Cheers,
CD

p.s.: say hello to your Opa, who passed away.

Sadly I only hd time to visit Frankfurt while I was in Germany....I was over there for business..(photography)...Germany was only a small part of the itinerary as I also saw most of England and Paris...and while I had time for sightseeing etc I wasn't able to go and see everything (or photograph)that I wanted to...I did get to sample the apple wein though...a little sweet but very nice....

Y9ou must be so looking forward to your trip!...and I'm looking forward to seeing your shots from there also...I presume that you are making the trip to visit family?

I'll post a couple more here for ya though...the last one is me sampling the local produce..;)

First one is a very nice photo and very cleverly picked... The color treatment (which is oft over done) works well for this photo as a contrast between old and new...

Your firing on all fours at the moment Bindi! Love your work!

A most interesting concept, and not to be confused with "firing on all four". :)
