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.

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.

Keith - you're images are always so sharp, alive and beautiful! These are no exception.

The 2nd one would be snapped up quickly by Sydney Ferries if you were to offer it to them I'd say (of course, for a price) :)

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting and varied set here Keith. Great images. I really enjoy the last. The quality of line the complementary colours and contrast are superb and the compression and juxtaposition you've created in this perspective really enhances this feeling. Terrific. :) By way of subtle but IMO significant improvement i'd crop a smidgen off the top to get rid of the slither of a window near the juncture between the 2 buildings. :)

I also enjoyed #1 the perspective and the intrusion of the red in the image to create contrast and separation from the building the column and the flags seem to mimic. Great vision.
cheers

Keith

There is some fantastic work on show here. #1 is the standout for me, #2 the weakest

They are all very good and an interesting and refreshing new look at Sydney.

Stunning work Keith. 3 is incredible - sharp details and new things to discover as you move around the shot.

Great series I'm hard pressed to pick a favourite but I think the last one does it for me narrowly. I love how we can have 16 odd photographers (yes we were all odd) and each of us can come up with something the others didn't see.

thanks for the comments
I was playing around with the first one and liked this look mainly because all my shots for the day tended to have saturated colors and I thought people might get a little tired of that type of look, the normal color version looks great as well. I had help from steffen holding my flash off to the left with a remote trigger to light the red tower and make it pop as it was in heavy shadow

the third one is pretty much as I saw the colors
in the last shot the blue sky reflections and the white are as seen but I have played with the brown coloring as it it was a bit flat and dull
