Cliched but what the heck.

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.

Now I have soft spot for Silhouettes, love looking at them and love taking them, so I apologise if this is a little too much. Please provide any feedback, I feel #2 is the weaker of the 3 shots shown.

I also have this one.. um not sure if I should crop the bridge out totally. I like the eclipse kind of affect (or startburst affect)

And another not so exciting one, but I still like the affect.... http://alpha7.potatis-gallery.com/dslr/ ... copy_s.jpg

Nice photos, Craig and the very first is my favorite. Very well done! And I'm going to second the others - I won't describe it as cliche

Craig, well done, these are great.

#1 is my favourite here, but I'd like #3 better if it were straighter. You're right, I think, #2 is the weakest.
Cheers,

Yep. #1 is the pick here. I'm not sure about the crop in the others.

Very beautiful images. The iconic bridge of this country is well represented, with the warmth of an orange sky. Great work, depicts elements of our country well!

I love the first one, and the third. I would agree that the second is the weaker of the three, it looks like a well executed silloutte, but just the framing seems to make the image very closed.

But again, the first is a great shot.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm glad to hear everyones opinions, and happy to see some people like these kind of shots and it's just not a "me thing".
