Mosques are not all B&W

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.

Mosques are not all B&W

but this one is :)
well a split toned B&W one any way

after seeing gooseberry's great high key B&W shot of the Old Supreme Court building in Singapore http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24712 I went looking for something similar to try to get the same look.... I'm not even close but I like it for a first effort. I will keep trying

By the way I'm beginning to hate power lines here in Sydney I spent ages cloning out the 8 power lines that ran right through this shot the results aren't to bad at this size, but there is no way I could use the large size file for anything without a lot more work

Very nice. I like it. Although you may want to consider some distortion correction for vertical elements.

there has already been a lot of distortion correction, I stretched the top out about 15% each side. The shot was taken at 17mm and the building is fairly large and I had to stand fairly close to miss the poles holding up the wires

Yes, it's almost vertical I guess. Can't do much better unless you use tilt and shift lens.

Well done!
