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.

Early morning accident

I was alerted by mark of a truck rollover on healy street toowoomba this morning so I got dressed and got up thier as quick as possible and snapped off a few shots (my rivals had been and gone by the time I got there approx 25 minutes after it happened) so I thought I'd just post a creative one I took of the scene.

Haha yeh thats what I normally expect auxiliary coats to look like, maybe this one is an older one they pretty much all looked like this it was just a MVA/grassfire coat too.

Could only get a pic of the car on the back of a tow truck, they work too fast in toowoomba.

Edited post with truck in it to include the car.

The doors on the peugot still opened, despite haveing it's front spashed in right the way to the end of the crumple zone, just goes to show how good the standards of euro car are compares to ours.
