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.

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.

Wonderful Nathan. Great use of leading lines, nicely exposed and good colour.

very nice.

I remember sitting at a window desk for 12 months watching this building get built, from the HWT / IBM towers next door. It was really something seeing such a mass of building grow out of the ground.

If you travel from the west, during the early evening, you can capture an amazing reflection of the sun, in the gold panels up the top; I've never had my camera with me :evil: though.

Same thing in the morning's too. I see it every day coming into work. I really should bring the camera with me and take a shot one morning.

HERE'S a different view of Eureka during construction...

Great shot NJ

If you could get rid of the cloud on the right & a little bit of that banding that happens ( I forget whats it is called ) it happens when you put a bit too much saturation in ?
You can see it in the blue sky, I'm being picky here.

Otherwise a BRILLIANT SHOT.

Well done.

Mic :wink:

VERY picky.
I like the cloud. Breaks the monotony of all that symmetry.
As for the banding. It is probably an artifact of making the photo Web compatible.

thanks guys!

mic, i dont mind you being picky because it opens my eyes to things i may not have seen otherwise.

mr darcy, i thought the same thing about the cloud, just breaks it up a little bit.

great shot there dave, different perspective, very nice! i have been taking my camera every morning but havent bothered to take it out to get a shot, i really should be bothered! hopefully it will be a clear sky tomorrow morning :)

very well shot!
with the sunlight coming from behind the building, it looks like some sort of halo glorifying it :P not sure if thats the best way to describe the effect..

amazing architecture too...
