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.

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.

Not sure there's much you can do with that one Ree...

By the time you straighten the horizon, you'll be left with an almost square image and the apostles are so out of focus they will spoil the image no matter what you do...

Look at it as a learning experience ;-)
Cheers, John

Straighten the horizon, maybe reduce the saturation a tad and add some vignetting? There is something there to be saved for sure.

Next time use a better tripod! :D

Jee, I hate browsers! Almost all of them, anyway...

When I first saw your image I thought, good grief, what did she do to that picture? Then I dragged it onto the desktop because I wanted to try a few things with it... What a surprise!

Here's a little screenshot, showing what Firefox (colour space blind, on the left) and Mac OSX Preview (colour space aware) will make of your image:

It turns out that the image you posted is in ProPhoto RGB. Web browsers (with the exception of Safari and IE for Mac, AFAIK) will render it as sRGB. I've heard rumours that Firefox 2 will understand colour spaces, almost too good to be true...

There you go.

Cheers
Steffen.
