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.

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.

Still way behind on my PP, but here are a few architectural shots of Urbis in Manchester, UK.

Urbis is a museum of Urban Life and is built on the area of Manchester that was unkindly demolished by an IRA bomb in 1996.
It is a very interesting building, both in shape and construction, made almost entirely of glass & steel...

I love glass. Refelctions within refelections. Multiple reflections and multiplaned imagery. Nice to see you and yours enjoying yourselves John. Safe return.

I'm already home Matt :lol: - As I said - I'm way behind on my PP :wink:

P.S. If you look carefully in the large image, you'll see mini-Leek and Mrs. Leek in the bottom left of the first image... They are always complaining that I don't include them in the photos :lol:

Welcome back John (when ever you landed safely).

Also good luck on catching up with all the PP, I can related to being behind although I'm sure you probably have more banked up!

Love the interesting architecture, especial with all that glass!
