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.

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.

Well it looks like a Pyramid...alas it's only Fed Square at night :)

Captured this while I was experimenting with light falloff.

This is cool. A couple of ideas - you could try this as a high-ish contrast b&w. May not work, but I'd be interested to see it. Also, if you could work on making the apex of the pyramid more clearly defined against the sky I think that would make this a stronger image. Nice shot.
Cheers,

cool wayne

although i would like to see the same thing re-visited where the moon is aligned with the apex that would be be absolutely lunar man!

and also try it with a longer exposure so you get more ambient light in the sky, make it more abstract

what kind of light falloff experimentation were you trying to achieve here?

thanks Macka and Wendell.

Macka - Will try and b&w and repost it. Actually the pic seems brighter on the LCD, which is probably why I missed the apex being lost into the sky :S

Wendell, I was hoping for the moon to be at the apex as well, but unfortunately I can't control the moon and its movements :) Hopefully as the months moon will pass right at that point.

i wasn't experimenting with light fall off with this pic. I was there experimenting with other stuff...just not this pic :D
