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.

I went up to the Ironfest at Lithgow today (Saturday) and it poured with rain on and off but the shows still went ahead

it poured during the battle re-enactment

French canon at the start of the battle, the painting like effect comes from the very heavy rain at the time

the sun came out for the jousting

part of the work in the blacksmith's competition

I ran into Oscar (Mick) and his wife also braving the rain while Mick was trying out his brand new toy (I wont spoil his thunder)
if your not doing anything today (Sunday now that it is past midnight) the weather was on the improve so take a quick trip up there, it is well worth it

I like the action of the jousting shot ... but the blacksmith shot is probably my favourite. Looks like a fun event.

I went to Ironfest, and there were many interesting characters in attendance. The rain made it a challenge keep the lens free from splatters. I like your shots, Keith, much better than anything I took.
Anyway, here is a couple from me.

Keith, you got some great images despite the rain. I especially like the action in the canon and jousting shots. You got some great colours.

Cheers
