Wintery Landscapes

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.

I was determined not to let the thick fog and lack of birds ruin a good morning out (plus I got up at 5:30 on my day off and it was freezing!!!) so I tried some landscapes.

Thoughts?

#2 has simply beautiful tones in the sky, nicely offset with foreground interest. The only thing I'd change is to clone out that dust bunny/blob in the top right corner.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Great second shot there. And you're braver than me. Dawn on the Gold Coast is cold enough at the moment I reckon, let alone Victoria.

#2 is a beautiful, finely crafted image. Great soft pastel colours, wonderfully composed and superb use of DOF.

It was a great morning sunrise today, I wanted to pull over and take some shots, but work beckoned.
Fog was really thick in Somerville.


Your second image captures what I was feeling and is my choice out of the two.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Looks like number 2 is the winner ('cept for the 'blob') :)

Thanks
