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.

Sign of the Times
Wivenhoe Dam is one of Brisbane's main water supplies. This inlet is part of the rapidly receding lake. The boat ramp is to the right of the sign, out of frame. The water is probably 200m away from the end of the ramp... and not likely to get any closer for a long time.
PP inc duplicate layer, gaussian blur, multipy blend mode, masking to exclude the sign from the multiply effect, curves, cloning out the road in left corner and repositioning the upper bolt on the sign, re-size and smart sharpen)Comments on the shot appreciated. (EXIF: D70, kit lens at 18mm, 1/60@f5, ISO200) Original

Thanks Craig - fair point too but that was exactly the point of my composition: that the rigging area is miles away from the actual water. I guess you had to be there!
(Maybe I should flick the arrow around...!) Simon

Simon - I prefer the first shot as it has a wee bit more definition

Simon. I don't even know what a rigging zone is
 . As for the image. I think the rework is a step in the right direction, but it's a little too dark at the bottom.Peter

Simon, to be fair, you composition works when you read your description, but I don't think its strong enough to get the point across by itself. I'd be tempted (don't tell energypolice) to change the sign to Read Boat Ramp ->
Make the point a little clearer.
