NZ Experiments

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.

A few "odd" shots from my NZ trip. More experimental than scenic. I'd be interested in comments both good and bad. To see these larger, just click the pic.

Look closely at this first one.

First one is an upside down image, the reflection is a river, pond.. you can see the rocks on the bottom in some of the more transparent bits.. and at the bottom of the frame you can see the shoreline and then the real rather then reflection plant life.


#2 and #3 I really like..

#4.. doesn't do much for me peter.

Ha!

I thought the first was a reflection in water, because of the ripples. I couldn't quite fit in the unreflected stuff at the bottom, but it becomes quite easy once you rotate the image...

The next two are interesting, you have a good eye for that sort of stuff. Esp #2 is very good, although maybe a litte bit let down by the fact that the focus doesn't appear to extend to the leafy floor?

Number 4 is hilarious, I'd call it "Man in the Moon" :lol:

Cheers
Steffen.
