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.

Out of the two I'm drawn to one but reckon the image would be better if the dark area at the bottom was cropped.
Just my thoughts.

Looks lke a great day coming up for you, we have overcast and drizzle down here in Melbourne.

Nice pics, certainly looks like a nice start to the day.

It was a nice -6 here this morning. The doors locks and seals were frozen shut on my car. I had to defrost it before I could get inside.

Occured to me just before I've drank a beer or two in the Old Bar Bowlo. Nice area!

Pa, I really like #1. I think the wider angle does the trick and I prefer it to your poster shot of yesterday. I wouldn't crop the deep blue off the bottom, if anything I would try cropping a bit of the top, below the high clouds on left hand side so the horizon is about 1/3 way down the shot.

A nice place for sunrises. Is there anyway you can get some foreground interest into the shots? Reeds on the bank or boats moored?

Cheers

I agreewith John here Pa, try it with less sky, emphisising the reflections a little :)
