Too Bloody Hot!

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.

Was a hot day in Newcastle on Saturday - thanks to Stubbsy, though, it was an enjoyable one :)

Along with some sunset shots which you'll probably see as the week progresses, I snapped these of some kids cooling off:

Nicely taken Leon. I can feel the heat in the images.

The third one looks like a belly-flop about to happen :)

Stand by for a long hot summer too and more opportunity to try and cool down.

Something a bit different from you and excellent pictures. Hope you got to empty that cellar of Stubbys!

Leon,

Newcastle is always a great place, isn't it?

Love the last one, great timing and great light.

Cheers,

André

As well as that great last shot I also like the golden tones and nice silhouette in the second image.

Water and the sunset makes a divine pair in this series with the lovely golden tones on offer and highlighting in the water, together with the sillhouettes. Nicely preempted belly-flop capture too =)

I was about to say 'that last shot is a corker' when I see that someone made that exact same comment !!!

But that last shot is a corker - incredible ! Just the right lighting, and way the pier draws your eye out to the kid jumping into the water - fantastic !

Cheers

Thanks guys - I liked the last one when I was reviewing my shots, but didn't think it was as good as you've now told me :) :) :)

I am wondering however if it would benefit from a crop putting the horizon about midway (yeah, I know - against all the rules ;) )?
