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.

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.

This week Kevin (Mitedo) & I met in total darkness to await the rising of the sun over Noosa River, but it just sort of dribbled over the horizon, so we concentrated on the closer items around us. This first one was just before the sun came over the top.

Image

Second one may look a little busy at first, but I like the "concentrated boating" look of it and the light wasn't bad either. Nice and soft with the sun appearing finally

Image

Finally, At the far end of a long walk along the riverfront, the ever present pier.

All good clean fun and definitely the best time of the day, but when you are getting up at 3.30am three days a week, it sometimes gets a bit yawny :D

Col The 1st & 3rd for me, although I'd like a touch less sat in #1. The framing really makes #3

Yes peter, the shed looks a bit too bright, but that is all part of their marketing plan. Bright colours stand out, besides the incoming brightness was making it's presence felt.
The third one had to wear the bright background as I was staring right into the sun, so without some fancy cut & paste, that's the way it is baby :wink: As it is, I merged two images with the old digital ND filter technique to get the dynamic range.

Anyway, we only have to be happy with them. Perfection can come later. :lol: Ah, the elusive target.
Thanks folks

Are you sure it was Kevin? Did he give you the secret handshake? :)

I love all three of these images. The colours, the reflections off the water, the mood ... you've captured some very elusive elements, and you've done very well.
