A Scarred Landscape

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.

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.

Hi there,

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday afternoon. Man it feels great not to be at work on a Saturday!! (One more to go before my holidays end)

Here's another shot from along the great ocean road. I'm undecided weather I like it or not (..too much saturation?). Could you guys offer some advice/opinions?

About 2 mins after I took this shot the heavens opened up and the wind went from nothing to VERY strong. The sand blowing about actually left cuts on my legs!! I was more worried about covering the camera though :)

Nicely executed, saturation looks about perfect to me. I guess looking at the full sized version must make you feel like you are back there?

Cheers,

Sure does. It's almost as fun editing the images as it was being there :)

Your images have been great so far, I look forward to seeing more when you post them. I really like your frames by the way!

The colours in this image are great, no problems at all.

I quite like this although it took me two looks to decide that. The sky really adds some punch to the image and compliments the landscape really well.

Great stuff.

Looks like one of those Australian Landscape calendar shots to me (that's a compliment, in cause you're not sure!)
