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.

While Stubbsy was busily getting the local artist to pose for the shots in this thread I was snapping away at the yellow house.

I also raise Stubbsy not one, but two whole images from his rule broken thread :D :D

Apologies if they're similar :) It's hard to get different material when working in close proximity!

Some nice shots Daniel_r I particularly like the last one and I'm not sure why. I also like the strong lines in #3.

For me #2 is the weakest, the perspective makes it seem like a snap shot style photo if that makes sense.

Daniel,

last one has great colours and composition for me as well. Next would be #3.

cheers,

Funny that none of you took a shot of the whole house.

I like the colours of the last one.
Cheers,

Daniel

A great set of images, with #1 the weakest for me.

#2 - I love the perspective and placement on this - very clever idea. A tiny clone of the distracting piece of house on the middle LHS may be in order.

#3 - I like the strong use lines in this. I tried a few similar concepts of different parts of the house, but none worked. This one does.

#4 - The best and another great example of your good eye for the shot.

Nice Daniel. I like the perspective of your second shot.

After staring at the yellow house for a while it made me dizzy :lol:

I like the last one a lot - very reminiscent of Pro Hart's art blot paintings :D
