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.

These are my fave images from the recent Byron outing. More can be found in my gallery HERE. Click a pic for a larger version.
This was a hard one to pick as I have two other similar shots in the gallery without as many people, but I quite like the way the people are walking towards the camera.
This shot was taken from the hang glider launch pad in the cliffs just before being used for takeoff. Pretty scary given I have a fear of falling, but I'm happy with the result
Something a little more traditional
and finally a study in blue

Peter,
I really like the first one. I think the 'people' element in this one really make the photo.
No. 2 is also an excellent landscape.
Great work.
Alex

Number one FTW imho. the others are great shots but the 1st is by far my favourite. It has the lot. Composition is great, lighting is interesting and the people add to it perfectly. Got any closer crops on the blond in the pink bikini  ???

First one is my favourite, the others Peter to be brutally honest, and I know you can take it so I'm not holding back, they aren't up to your usual standards.. Or atleast my idea of a Peter Stubbs photo is way beyond the others.

Thanks for the feedback people. Seems I made the right choice with #1
Craig - honest criticism is what I always want. My ego can handle it.

I detect some very skilled post processing in the first image. Technically.....it sings. Your instincts are sound Peter.

Holy crap Peter, they are very blue. I have only just calibrated my monitor and they are certainly high on the blue register. #2 and #4 especially.
The sky in the very 1st one looks alot more natural, well to my eye, than the others.
#2 would be my pick if you wound the blue back a click or 2.
