Last lot of urban shots.

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.

Last lot of urban shots.

Hi Wayne,

Not sure how this post has been missed, but I found it.

#1 I really like the tones in this one and you have your signature traffic in the foreground, nicely done

#2 This one doesn't quite work for me, the building doesn't seem straight there is possible too much negative space, it just doesn't hit the spot .

#3 I like it but perhaps because I have a similar shot of the Boston Clock tower, did you intentionally leave in the spire in the middle top of the frame ? I'd perhaps clone it out

#4 um.. powerlines the moon and the sky ? this one fails to capture my imagination sorry.

Thanks for the honesty Craig :)

I like #1 as the moon managed to sneak a peek from behind the clouds at that moment. If the moon wasn't there, I wouldn't have taken the pic. Wanted to add an extra element of movement in it to make it more interesting so waited for the taxi to go by.

There was a reason for leaving the spire in the middle but can't remember :S either that or i forgot to take it out :)

I liked the texture a lot in the 4th pic as it reminded me of a painting. I wanted to do something with the power lines but don't think I framed it correctly...dammit :evil:

#4 looks a lot better on my LCD at home, I can see the texture coming through.

Wayne,

Unlike the alley shots you posted before, these don't do anything for me, sorry.
