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.

Hi all,

Just recently returned from a trip around Western Europe, and thought I'd post a few of my better shots (from 1100) to ask your opinion.

Can you increase the brightness a bit on the 2nd and 4th pics. Love the power and majesty of the last pic though. Just needs a bit more brightness to finish it off.

Welcome back. That first image is a cracker. You've captured just the right lighting - still daylight in the sky, but lit from inside as well.

Weakest here for me is #3 - I get what you were doing, but I'd have liked less blur on the cyclist

Agree with Stubbsy here. I absolutely love the first, followed by the fourth and then the second one (how quaint are those different colour houses!). The third doesn't do a lot for me - and I'm not going to give any advice on what to do with it because I'm only a newbie! JMHO.

First image is sensational. Second needs +0.3 or +0.5 EV and maybe back off the saturation a touch? The third one is great and sums up Amsterdam ;), but would like more saturation on this one. Number 4 is a decent concept but needs more detail from the building shadows to be effective.

thanks for the tips and feedback, numbers 2 & 4 are straight out of the camera, will try fiddling in PS for the brightness.
