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.

The images I am uploading tonight are probably not for the sepia haters.

I don't mind sepia, and I think it works quite well for the first and also the third photo. In the first, it brings out the age of the temple(s), and in the third I like the sharpened and contrasted effect. I don't think it works on the second, though, mainly because of the sky.

Have to go there one day - it looks amazing.

Cool captures Steve.

I would like to see a tad more contrast in the first - just my thoughts.

Not real keen on the PP in the last.

I like your caption for the second shot - which I really like also.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

second one is best, i feel the third is a bit too processed... its a really beautiful place... serene and peaceful, too bad the people are under such a poor economic climate.

without sounding too much like i have agenda (which i dont) check out http://www.transformcambodia.com if u feel like helping out the next generation there.

i might be new to photography but i do think that the first is one done in sepia does show the temples age effectively

the second one is beautiful too, but the third i think is too sharp and doesnt work for me. content is great though.
