Colour, Contrast and Composition

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.

Consider it mission accomplished, all those shots had a high degree of colour, contrast and great composition. :D

Hi Marco,

does work with cut/paste to a new browser window, pixspot itself must be in a bit of a funny state :? , doesn't like to have images pointed to from other sites.

Love the second one, beautiful colours and composition. The 80-400VR is certainly a sharp lens.

Was that handheld or on a tripod?

Cheers,

radar

Thanks Radar both were tripod mounted.
Is there any other way you have found to point to the image in Pixspot? It really makes it a real pain to try and post images for comment when there is this level of hassel. :(

Hi Marco,

see edit on my above post. It seems that if you point to the smaller version of the image, then is is okay, it show the image and then I just add a link to the image to pop up the full image and that seems to work.

Try it to see if it works for you, may be just cached at this end,

HTH,

I just logged on to both links with no trouble... maybe because I'm an amateur at this stuff (beginners luck).

Both are great images though.

I wish you guys would stop playing with toys I can't afford... makes me envious!

It seems a lot of crew on the forum use this image host (pixspot). I don't know why you stick with them.....the pics always seem slow to load and you have the problems seen in this thread.

I have always used flickr and find their hosting fast and reliable and they provide a cool way to display a certain collection with slideshows etc.

Just my 2c worth
