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.

hehehe, very witty.

I would be tempted to clone out the little 'cling-ons' on the ass end. So to speak.

Nice shot, nice colours to.

Nice shot! I also took a photo of this boat, but not as impressive as your shot John. I like the play on words for the title. 8)

It's a small world after-all!
When people landed on the moon, they placed a flag there - it looks like they've placed one at the end of the world too!

I like the title

I've modified the original to remove the clingons and the ropes and give the whole image a late afternoon light feel.

Could I please have comments regarding which works best and why.

Thanks

Well John, I know who to see if I ever need a shot of my end.

Good cling-on removal. Maybe you could moonlight as a bidet. :)

I prefer the colour of the original.

the original for me.

The second lacks contrast and the colour temperature is well boosted - the light is not qutie right. maybe a little less heat. Good job of removing the bum fluff though...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll go back and redo the original without the clingons and mooring lines. I'll darken the blue of the sky a bit as well. I might try it in b/w too, although I'm absolutely hopeless in b/w. I either end up with a washed out look or too much contrast.

Thanks
