The Shrine

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.

Probably done to death as photographic topic, but heres a few more. Taken on the way home this evening.

I've given a couple of them the B&W treatment. The coloured one is a jpg straight from the D50 in "saturated sRGB Mode IIIa"

i think i saw this monument when i was on my way to government house is it in the parklands next to the yarra river?

the first pic has a certain stillness to it the scene looks surreal for some reason which is very appealing only comment woudl be to have shot it at a different angle so the bench does not intersect the monument have those two contrasting each other with ample space around each, that woudl have made the shot

Nice pics mate. You really know how to make that D50 sing :)

Second pic is my fave - love the composition and b&w treatment. Makes the lion really look like its looking over its domain.

Great work pharmer, you do have great skills with the D50. My pick is the 2nd shot, followed by the first :) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Craig & Piro. The D50 is nice, wouldn't swap it for a D70s - it just wouldn't be an upgrade :-)

But I made the mistake of playing around with a D200 in a shop and now guess what I want?

Those are very worthy photos, which do great justice to a very worthy monument. I'm embarrassed to post mine now.

I wish I had taken better advantage of my seven years in Melbourne to get some good shots of the Shrine.

All three are quite good. The first one the condensed and flattened perspective create a bit of a cluttered effect, as they appear to battle for the same area. If there was some exaggerated distance between the two, I think it would be a little better. Or the angle like Wendell was saying.

Yeah - I should have taken more time with the first.

There were people on either side of the frame, thats why I didn't move around to the left and create more space between the seat and the monument.

My widest is the 18mm (27mm real) - little restricting at times in terms of creating visual space

Dooda - bet you're loving the 10-20 :-)
