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.

Over the river, near Notre Dame.

The first - I like this one...

This one, I have applied a 'lomo' filter script...

J'adore numero deux.

The second is magnificent. What was the lomo filter, I've tried a few but never been happy with the results

It's a very strong filter - PM your email address and I will zip and send, it's a .js

Justin - shot #1 is awesome with the last rays of the sun kissing the buildings on the left and the darkness of night on the right - love it.

Second one is interesting, at first glance it looks like a man raising his arms but the two people become evident after further perusal, nicely done effect, Max

Gorgeous light & mood in #1, simply beautiful :)

I don't think I quite get the filter in #2, it's blown out a lot of detail but creates some very surreal colours. Definitely an interesting effect, but I'd prefer the surrealism without the expanse of whiteness in the middle.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

#1 is just superb.

#2 is just too blown for my tastes

Two very different shots but just one response for both - fantastic! Really fine work.

And do I note in your signature the saying of one of my favourite groups -
The Universal Church Triumphant of the Apathetic Agnostic ???
"We don't know and we don't care"

Gold. If I wasn't such a committed atheist, I would almost consider becoming an Apathetic Agnostic!

Hey, thanks guys, that's great feedback.

I actually picked up the sig line from the humour section here. It struck a chord at the time!
