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.

I took the bait and made the effort to shoot the QM2 experience. I wasn't all that happy, and felt rushed a lot, but thought I'd share the experience anyhow.

High ISO earlyness - failure...

300 + 1.7TC plus several kms of distance... would you believe this combo is so sharp I still had the beginnings of moire! Amazing

Where I got most enjoyment was shooting people watching:

Great photos.

#2 is the standout for me. Colours in #2 are just great.

Well done!

Having waited until all had posted their QE2 pictures, I must say that number 2 is the best that I have seen. Well done, this picture not only has great colours but also shows the size of this amazing vessel.
Thanks for posting

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

I wouldn't call #1 a failure. It may not be a technically correct photograph but it is an evocative image. The magical appearance of the mystical QE2... :wink: Almost like a shot out of a Terry Gillam movie...

Cheers
Steffen.

Thanks all for the generous comments. Here is one that I've pped to get rid of the pre-sun grey tone a little. Posting just for the sake of showing the size!

Last one is excellent, it really shows how friggen huge it is, since we are all used to how big the bridge is. Nice work on the PP too, doesn't look like morning at all.
