Second thought...

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.

Well, i like it and maybe the colours do look a bit fake in some parts but i think it sets this picture off. I am sure other will coment but yeh i think it ok but i am not a landscape person but i think it would look good hanging on the wall.

I think there are some terrific elements to the image. The general composition, foreground interest, sweeping coastline leading to..... here is where it gets trickier the sweep of coastline gradually takes the eye from the foreground interest of blurred wave effect and rocky outcrop, really good :), but the stormy clouds are not dramatic or forceful enough to hold that interest. :(

As John mentioned the colours are a oversaturated reminding me of Velvia on steroids with a mauve mask. :wink: That aside I think the overall look has an artistic bent to it that's quite appealing IMO and possibly to add to the drama in the sky maybe a little dodging in PS to 'mood' it up a bit.

Great effort though and a nice one to frame, escapism.
cheers

This shot really reminds me of a local Batemans Bay artist, his paintings are gorgeous (I have a few calendar's of his), and capture a similar style and colouring. This shot has a lot of interesting elements that are really appealing, yet at the same time it feels not quiet right.
