Africa - DU Warning

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.

Hi Bigfoot1966,
that sure is a nicely exposed close up shot with good detail.

I can only see one shot and do not see a link to any others.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Great capture,

I would crop so there is not so much vacant space on the right.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Nice images; thanx for sharing.

As you're learing the ins and outs of posting them, a couple more pointers to help you, and also to help others enjoy them too.

First of all, please keep the maximum length of any side of your image no larger than 800 pixels. These ar 1000, and while it may look great in PS, it makes looking at them, for many of our members, and through the browser interface, somewhat difficult. 800 or smaller fits nicely within the frame provided by the forum layout without any need to scroll the images - the wjhole image is easily viewed, and thus everyone is better able to appreciate your work.

Also, for any sort of display on the wen, it's advisable to use a lower resolution/quality. Basically, if your filesize is greater than about 100-130KB, your resolution is probably too high. The one file I'm looking at is over 300KB, which creates an issue for you in that the image (your IP and copyright) may be able to be used by others without your authorisation, and it creates an issue for those members of ours who may not be blessed with a broadband connection (thanx Ziggy and Sol) and for whom the downloading of this thread will be a 1.5MB plus experience. We need to always be mindful of that ....

Finaly, we prefer no more than four images in any one post and/or thread. Not an issue in this instance, but something you might like to keep in mind for the future.

Cheers.
