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.

hi

i really like the original, this one the blacks are a bit too strong(saturated) and there is a lot of detail lost.

thanks for sharing

Great! Love this one, Macka. B&W treatment suits it so well. Did he catch anything?

Hi Macka,

I agree with Byrt_001 on the blacks; quite some detail lost.
However the BW is more dramatic, scary. :shock:
I hope he didn't get washed away or taken by the big one ... :shock:

Cheers,
CD

It was a pretty quick and dirty conversion... I'll have another go sometime, but I was after a contrasty image.

Not sure if he caught one. He had to leave quite soon after whena big set came along. not a moment too soon either :shock:

Thanks for the comments,
Cheers,

I love it - nice composition and framing with that long rod.

Great shot!
The only problem I have with it is that the person in the photo is a bloody idiot. Rock fishing should be banned. It is one of the most dangerous 'sports' there is. Sadly, many Rock Fishermen can't even swim/aren't strong swimmers. Go fish off a wharf or something!! Yes, I feel quite passionate about this. No one can say this is a 'safe' sport. I have seen fist hand on many occasions family lose their loved one, who was out trying to catch a fish, risking their life for a fricken fish! </end rant>. Sorry to hijack the thread.

Geoff,

That's ok. It's not something you would ever see me doing either. Not long after he moved some pretty big waves crashed right where he had been standing.
