Tour Down Under - Stage 1

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.

It actually wasn't that interesting. The cyclists just went off slowly (for them).

Nice to see people heading out with the camera to the other stages; Mawson Lakes seemed pretty darn packed yesterday.

There is a sheeeetload of waiting around at the start of each race, I'd be looking as bored as the Barloworld guys if I had to spend that much time waiting. I've never actually seen a stage start either, the media vans pull off 10 mins ahead but means I ain't missing much eh :)

Are you heading to Stirling tommorow Daniel?

Hi Ronza,

I didn't think that it was too busy.
Last year there was more of a carnival atmosphere around the stage 1 start.

Probably not. Although it's a shame you miss the line up, before they head off.

No. Some of us have to work. :D
I only went to this start because I work very close by.

Ouch. I guess it will take a little while for the mouth to recover. Hope you get better soon.

Daniel, thankfully whose teeth are all intact...
