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.

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.

I agree with the simplicity and the dream like effect of the mist really make the picture. The contrasts work well, definitely worth hanging on the wall :!:

Great shot Michael. The barely visible trees in the background really add to the spooky atmosphere. Very nice :D

Oh yes... I like this... Misty, dreamy, excellent atmosphere, well captured and tasteful PP... Getting a simple image is a surprisingly tricky, complex thing but it's worked well here...

Tempted to maybe crop the top slightly???

Very nice comp and B+W.

I can't help but wonder if only it was a touch sharper, but then I don't know if that would detract from the feel.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

I think sharpness might kill this image Dion.

Its emotive - its simple - its great. Well done Dargen!

Hey, maybe I had better process the rest of them. :shock:
Thanks very much for the positive comments members. It means a lot to me. I still feel very much a rank amateur in this comapny.

Nice simple and clean image.

Just add a gondala and a poleman wearing a heavy hooded cloak and it would round out the eerieness of that image.

What a great image Dargan. There is a touch of 'Jackson Pollock' in your style :) (Which is a good thing)
