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.

Ooooh I love the fourth one...it is very eye catching...the solitary figure looks so small and insignificant against the bridge....very nice..;)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

I'm with you Bindi - that 4th one is a ripper. Beautifully framed and executed Leigh.

Lovely shots Leigh. Something is wrong with the last couple though - they're seriously lacking in colour :lol:

Lucky I didn't use that lens or I may be lens lusting again.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

1. 300mm f4
2. Just under the bridge at the end of The Rocks markets near that massive pub, except for the fourth in which case I was near the terminal and over-priced fish restaurants around the corner on the Quay.
3. Who knows.

Great shots Leigh,

for me, it's #3 and #4.

For #5, I find the person blends in a bit too much in the bridge for my personal taste.

Cheers,

André

At the risk of sounding both boring and sycophantic....


#4 is brilliant Leigh. One of the best B & Ws I've seen from you

Number 3 and 4 as well! I like the fact that they are all looking in the same direction in 3 as well as the hand out for balance on the first climber in that photo. It is almost perfect, just needed the first climber to have a wider step and the background in the bottom left of the frame not to be there.

4 is just stunning, fantastic composition. On the lighter side it reminds me of a scene from loderunner ;)
