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.

Been playing around with a few different proccessing techniques over my uni holidays (mainly due to boredom), and managed to produce this:

I really like the effect, anyone care to comment?

G'day Chris,

Not sure re: suggestions, I think Jethro's right abotu playing with shadows, but I was thinking if it's your car or you know the owner, it might be worth a try taking it to a barren, dry location and going for the rustic outback look, maybe B&W??? At least until the panel work's painted :lol:

EDIT: Doh! Premature button press... Only thought the above because the background's distracting, thinking of not having modern cars in the background sort of thing... If you know what I mean :oops:

Oh, had to paste the URL into another window too...

thanks for the commens guys..

@jethro: i had a go playing with the s&h tool in CS2, but it didn't really make that much of a difference, should have payed more attention when I first took the photo!

@mudder: not my car, saw it drive past and chased it down the street until it stopped..but yeah, I originally had this one penned as a black and white, but couldn't resist the multicolouredness of the car.

not sure what you mean about the url though, seems to be displaying fine within the thread :?

One of the two great Holdens, being EH and HR, (IMHO :D :D), almost forgot the early Monaros, make that three Holdens. So it has to be a good photo!
