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.

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.

Pack the car I'm on the way. Wow that's nice looking water.
Nice shot to capture the paradiseness (is that a real word) of the area, haven't been there before but that's because I have never seen a pic of cairns as good as yours.
Nice capture, I'm inspired by it.
Thanks Bob

Striking image - love the sky, and clear water.

Polariser on camera or post processing?

Please tell me this was taken with the 17-35 that you want to sell?
D300, D200, (D70 - now with daughter) and heaps of Nikon stuff.

This is a striking image, but I think could be improved with a slight crop to remove the distracting foregound - similar to what I've done below. If you don't like me playing with your image, say the word and it's gone :wink:

Great shot Bob. Is it just me or is the horizon a tad crooked. I like both versions, but #2 makes me think you could do a portrait crop of #1 and frame both together.

The color is so bold here, and seems really sharp too... Cloud highlights seems a smidge hot but ooh la la, what a spot...

I could just imagine parking the bum there with an esky and just taking it all in...

Maybe the horizon is off a smidge didn't think it was noticeable enough to worry about

Stubbsy

I like your cropped version, but I also like the original in the context I was wanting to achieve at the time of taking the shot.

Thanks for your input

Great colours. And with a title like the one you have here I was expecting something more ugly.
