O'Reilly's - a few more

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.

O'Reilly's - a few more

Here's a couple more from the O'Reilly's minimeet (with all the O'Reilly's pics over the last few days, I don't want anyone to overdose, hence only a couple :D )

i really like the second one. i would probably add a bit more contrast tho, to get the colours to pop.

Nathan : Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate your comment re. adding more contrast to the second shot but I purposely didn't add too much as it can look unnatural.

Bernie : Thanks for comments and next time we are out in the field I'll try one of your grad filters

Cheers

Mark and Mark - thanks guys. First one is my fave and posted second one as there weren't many rainforest shots posted so far.

Regarding it being 'fantastic country', I couldn't agree with you guys more. I feel so fortunate to have been paid to have taken guests there repeatedly over a 5 year stint and will be going back to get more shots down the track.

Cheers

Thanks Craig,

Both shots were taken using a borrowed D100 and I'm still getting used to the settings. Having the D200 will be brilliant. Just have to be patient until its arrival.

Just catching up on some of the posts from last week that I missed. Love the first one of these - it is a lost world and a beautiful one at that. Have been to O'Reilly's, it's a great spot. Alas that was in my pre-digital stage.

Thanks Suzanne,

Yes, it really is a beauitiful spot and one of my favourite places. Having worked and lived there for 5 years was just bliss.

Cheers
