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.

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.

Jaco I always enjoy your work and the superb quality, however it would be great if you could occassionally do more than use this site as a gallery to display your work.

Your critique of other members work would really be appreciated, I am sure that you have an enormous amount to offer and any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way this is a personal view only. :D

Nice shots Jaco.

Stubbsy how do I get my posted images to come out this large. If I size to 800 pixels on largest size and keep under say 100Kb I get images that are no where near this large.

The image size on screen is NOT a factor of the number of K, so if you're image is 800 px and not showing big then something else is wrong. Create a new thread, embed an image as an example and I'll have a look at it.

Jako - your images are IMO the supreme example of using colour, framing, subject material, etc., etc., etc. Just brilliant. Colour is part of every second that we live and you use it to promote life.
