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.

We stayed with friends in drought stricken Goulburn at their farm where they have been hand feeding their cattle for five years. I fell out of bed before dawn to take a couple of snaps. This is one of them!

Well worth falling out of bed for. The colour is pretty amazing. I also saw the B&W version on your pbase site and that works really nice as well.

Thanks for sharing,

André

Wow! Maybe I should make it a thing to sleep precariously on the side of my bed and fall out of it more often.

Great capture Sheila, a bit different from your usual candids and street photos but impressive nonetheless.

Thanks all. Here is another shot I took that morning. I went to turn on the tap to get a drip (as you would!) for the shot but of course there was no water! I then noticed the spider's web which is not too apparent at first glance

Both shots are gorgeous Shelia but I noticed a fairly obvious halo style aura around the tap, was that intentional or a result of your PP ?

W.O.W. beautifully done! I noticed the halo too, it's a masking filter right?

Yep, the halo was my Sony PP! I was trying to lighten the image enough to see the spider's web but still trying to keep the tap in silhouette. Back to the drawing board.... :)
