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.

Hi Everyone,

Was in Tas last week, here are 4 of my fav images. C&C welcome

The white borders are cause the canvas is larger than the image needed that for printing.

Cheers

Mak

My pick here are #2 and #4, but all are great. I think #2 has a slight yellow cast and could be improved by bumping the blue a touch.

Hi Mak, I like them all. Tassie is a beautiful place. Where did you find Cascade Falls? I've never heard of it.

I had a quick look around for you at Salamanca on Saturday. I forgot to take your mobile number with me so couldn't call you. Saturday was raining at Salamanca so was pretty ordinary, so I went over the HMAS Adelaide and then the Daffodil Show, just to stay indoors.

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Tassie.
Cheers
John

I would crop the 1st picture so you can just see the shack reflected in the water, takes some of the busyness away from the foreground of the image...

My thoughts.

Cheers :D

Wow, i didnt expect such a great response.... Thanks everyone, you have just renewed my enthusiasm for Landscapes

Blackspear: I know what you mean abt the cropping... I was going for the interesting foreground look... maybe it doesnt work for this image

Johnd: Cascade falls is up in Cradle Mt near Cradle Mt lodge. It was a bit pi$$y on Sat but we did walk up and down the market 3 times killing time as we had a 5.35 flight back. I wasnt too sure if you would come hence didnt call you, maybe next time :). I did see some great pics at the market though. We decided against the HMAS Adelaide walking past to Princess Park ... Loved Tassie ... 1 week just aint enuf.

Poompy: Thanks :D I love the green as well....

Adam & Alex : My first waterfall pics, glad you guys liked them

Stubbsy : Thanks, will try to play with it in Photoshop. I have sent them for printing already, hope the come out good.


Pa: The images are from Cradle Mt abt 2hrs away from Launceston.

Cheers
Mak

These are all good Mak, don't know how I missed them when you posted.

My favourite is number one - I can see that a crop would have benefits, but on the other hand, I kinda like the foreground as it is.

Looking forward to seeing the prints

cheers

I like the last shot, its just so rich and green. The tree and the moss covered [roots?] add a couple of different elements into the image that work really well.

Greg : The reason that there is a white band on the top is cause I wanted to get it into 16x 20 inches. I will cover it when I mat mount it later... being a bit lazy hehehe

Rainey : yea my thoughts exactly, u must see it to believe it
