As the world passes you by

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.

That's really nice mate. The only thing I would change is crop it in from the sides, I feel that the pillars are a slight distraction. I cropped it on my screen and I think it looks a bit better.

Great photo and good idea!

Cheers,
Owen.

All you'd need is a model there, looking in to the distance!

Lovely shot!

the beams would work better for me if there was a little space on either side of them also.

Scott, I really like this but at the risk of being different from other views instead of cropping the edes I would suggest to force copious amounts of vignetting to draw attention to the central portion or th frame :idea:

The contrast and background movement are excellent :!:

One with a model is in PP...

after reading the views I have decided to play with the crop a bit :)

The rail system is fun to shoot on and fortunately we had a nice attendant at town hall... I will PP that one tomorrow :)

nice shot........ but I would have liked to have seen the front or the end of the train rather than the middle......... as it would have said a lot more.....

I also like the edges, but would be interesting to see a shot without them.

Also it doesnt look like Town Hall station...I can see sunlight :-)

Searching for some "hot stuff"?

Scott
Something different from you. Very creative and it works for me. I'm not sure about the crops that the other guys mentioned...but I'd be interested in seeing versions where the bench seat is different colours. Although the blue works very well I think the mood of this shot would change dramatically as the seat colour changes.

So did you sample their brew? Do they only have it on tap or can you buy case?
