Bradleys Head meet pics part 2

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.

Thanks for that one Patrick.

Nice optical illusion in that one - some how you made Rob look much taller. Of course we all know the old trick of making the object in the foreground look bigger/taller!! :)

Just as long as everyone realises i'm not really vertically challenged :lol: :lol:

Like the shot of Yi-P and the last one too.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Look at me says Mick, not a gram of fat was put on over Christmas :lol: :lol:

Good capture Patrick. You haven't wasted anytime getting the pics out.

That last one if very nice, if the sail would have been out, perfect.

Would have been a hot day today, hope everyone had a good time.

cheers,

André

Mick, you're right, it was a great optical illusion! (I believe you).

Andre, where we were, it wasn't too bad with the shade and a nice breeze. Get into the sun, and it was a different situation.

Cheers

Patrick

The last two are really well done, especially given the haze on the day. #3 in particular has a certain nostalgic feel to it somehow thanks to your PP, but I can't quite say why.

Thanks Peter (and also for the use of that fantastic lens). Perhaps the nostalgic feeling stems from the lack of Centrepoint tower? Just my opinion, but I sometimes see shots of Sydney/North Sydney without landmark buildings and it really adds to the aged look of the photo.
