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.

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.

#3 and #5 for me - lovely tone and posture in 3 and great composition and long exposure in 5, the pointed lights are very well placed.

Liked #3 a lot, but then I saw #4 which is absolutely fantastic. Welcome to the forum. I look forward to more of your work. Canon, Nikon, or the rest? :wink: :lol:

That's a great portfolio of varied images, nice work :D

#1 - I love the distortion from super wide lenses so this image works for me, composed nicely and such an intense look of concentration - well captured.

#2 - fantastic angle, exposure is great, colours are nice without being oversaturated.

#3 - Looks like a nice shot, but I think we need to see a bigger version. This type of image relies on fine detail, and a 500 pix version isn't doing it justice.

#4 - Love the subject, so surreal, exposure time works well. My pick of the bunch :)

#5 - I like the trails, would have been even better with a longer exposure and less of the 'smudging' from the passing cars. Great shot though.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Wow, thank you for sharing these photos with us Decryption. They are all brilliant but I'm swayed with the general consensus on number #4. Keep up the good work.
