A Tamborine sunset, and half a car

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.

A Tamborine sunset, and half a car

Confusing title, but hopefully, straightforward photos :wink:

Both were D50, with the first being Tamron 28-75 and the second the Sigma 70-200 (which is a pretty good lens IMO).

Both great shots - love the colours and setup in the first, and the strong lines and the effective (non-B&W) monochrome in the second.

Ooooh what a cracker of a sunset... gorgeous.... where on Tamborine did you take it?...cause I've often thought about meandering up there one day to get some sunset shots but haven't been sure on where an ideal spot would be... :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Why thankyou :)

This was one of those rather hasty 'omg...look at the sunset...pull over!' moments :wink: The whole area up there has such a great feel to it. We'd passed through Eagle Heights and just pulled over on the side of the road somewhere. A couple of minutes later, we drove over a big weir/dam wall with a wildlife park nearby.

Can you tell I am not a local? :oops:

Hope (however unlikely it may be be) this helps :)

how long did those rays hold out for?
i can never find a decent spot in time when mother nature is showing off.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Thanks for the comments. The rays lasted longer than I thought they would do. I was working pretty quickly, but still had easily enough time to grab quite a few images.
