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.

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.

Two different buildings, two very different windows.
First had great warm winter sunlight.
The second was on the sheltered side but got nice reflections of the blue sky. Sorry about the slight perspective distortion, but you can see from the size of the bricks just how large these windows were...

First shot is great, the contrast between the warm colour and the harsh broken glass is very effective. Fantastic shot :)

Second doesn't do a lot for me I'm afraid.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Both great images,
I in fact prefer the 2nd as I love the cool blue colours in the windows against the stark brickwork.
There you go, one man's oasis is another man's desert ........well you know what I mean.

Nice captures of desolation, I like them both.

But you should have posted them in the IT section... :twisted:

Cheers

Definitely #2 for me. I like the blue reflections on the glass and the almost tesselated effect the brickwork has. That's a bloody big window.

Thanks guys,
It is a big old building with lots of windows, it must have been a p.i.t.a to keep clean when it was operational.
I will post others to show the height, but I shot from the ground with a wide lens which gave very strong perspective/distortion.
Cheers

Marty - I don't tire of looking at your 'work'. The 2nd image is the stand out here for me - I like the contrast of the blue windows against the dirty old bricks - very nicely done.

Marty,

I think both are good with the 1st one appealing to me the most.

Nice captures!

The first had me take a breath, lots of sharpness, and warm color!

The second, at first, I was dissapointed, however, upon a second, more detailed look, I begun to appreciate the color variation in the bricks, particularly the lower left hand corner...

thanks for sharing!
