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.

And here was I thinking when I read the title of this thread that you were breaking the news that Bono just announced on Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope" that the U2 "Vertigo" tour will be going ahead in November (yay!)....

Fantastic shot Pharmer - the perspective, the colouring, the lens flare - it all works so well together. Well done!

This is a great image on so many different levels. A nice different view of the shot-tower, an angle i've certainly never seen before. Great work.

Lovely shot, great eye, and it'd be on my POTW shortlist.
The geometry is great, it looks like a space station, a tunnel, or what it really is a interesting tower.

A very aptly titled image. I feel slightly dizzy looking at it. :D

This shot is very interesting as it can be viewed as looking up or looking down. It is amazing how the mind can look at this type of picture and in a split second become confused by - am I looking up or down :?:

Great perspective - thanks for sharing

Pharmer

I just love this type of architectural shot. You've pulled this off beautifully. Composition is spot on, great leading lines and, very importantly, extremely well exposed with no blown highlights which is a real challenge with a shot like this. We even get the lovely blue of the sky. Thanks for sharing this one.

The shot was much easier to expose in the early morning light. No direct sunlight on the cone/tower when I took it
