Still standing

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.

Taking 10 minutes to myself this awful Monday arvo to sip on a coffee & upload this pic which I took after a fairly short, but frenzied thunderstorm in Orange on Saturday. No cropping or PP, just a beautifully coloured sky... & a TV antenna that survived...

All comments welcome

Edit: Embedded larger image without the jaggies

Craig I like it, perhaps you can be our new TV antenna photographer ? Sadly our last one left on bad terms, so we have had a shortage on Antenna images to drool over.

On a serious note, if this is with no PP then it really was a incredible sky.
I'm not sure if its just my tired eyes (hellish day at work today) but it looks a tad oversharpern that or it just didn't like the resize. I can see lots of jaggies on the tv antenna.

My eyes are hanging out as well, but there are some serious jaggies. I brought the .jpg in to work for a new wallpaper & resized with a prog called Vueprint (which might suggest wht it was designed for) & it didn't do too well. Might try again in PS & repost tonight.
