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 did a search to check if I had posted this before, and couldn't find any evidence, this shot recently was selected on another forum which got me thinking had I posted here. (I apologise if it is a repost).

This shot also seemed to fit the theme... not completely empty, but close to it.

Taken on the way home, out the car window, I love the isolation in this shot. (Both look better on a black background I'm afraid).

Hi Craig,

I quite like both of these; they're both very pleasingly composed.

Perhaps the highlights are a little far gone in #1 - I like the high contrast look, but it might be nice to try and retain the tile pattern on the floor.... if possble.

Yeah, I wish this forum had a dark grey skin, it's much easier on the eyes and generally more flattering to photos.

Cheers,

As you can see it was almost empty at the time, but my friend and I had our wives a little worried when we told them where we were waiting for a train. :)

Both great shots, Craig, especially the 2nd one - would do fantastically in stock libraries too.

Fantastic images. Both of them. I like the composition of the first one better. :)

That 2nd shot is a ripper Craig!
Quite inspirational - like for Nike ad or something?

Well done!
