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.

I haven't had much of a chance to post for a while, so here are a few from a recent trip to Hawaii.

These are from the Haleakala Crater (or summit) on the island of Maui.
The summit is in the order of 10000 ft above sea level so you you get to see a lovely sunrise above the clouds. Its quite a popular touristy thing to do. Only problems were that we had to meet at 0315 to join the tour group and the freezing cold at the summit.

If you ever get a chance to do it, I would thoroughly recommend it.

1. The visitors centre with a slightly frozen audience.

2. Some clouds.

3. The sunrise.

4. One of the crater

Thank you all for your kind comments.

I did have a difficult time trying to convince the Mrs to wake up at such an ungodly hour. In the end we both found it more than worth while. As we were part of a tour group we only had a limited amount of time at the crater. I would love to go back and spend some more time there. You could literally spend days there photographing the area.

I will try and post a few more of our Hawaii shots soon.
