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.

Here are three more photos taken from our honeymoon last year. We walked up to the top of Mt Iron which had spectacular 360' views of the surrounds. Unfortunately, the time of day meant that photos anywhere from South-West to North-West had a lot of sun-flare (latish afternoon).

C&C Welcome

There are a couple of elements of my PP work in this one which I am not happy with:

This one has had minimal PP - curves and then the border and text:

Thanks

Thanks Glen, and I wouldn't think too much about the walk up :lol: Let's just say the words "never" and "ending" came to mind quite often.

TTT - I will check the original files, but I didn't play around with the colours too much, from memory.

Patrick,

great part of the world there. My favourite would be the first one, I like the B&W in that one.

cheers,

André

love the pics but they appear a little over exposed to me. Could be a monitor calibration issue at my end though.

Great images, but for me the colour shots also look a little overexposed and have a slight yellow cast

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I think I have definite calibration issues with our screen.
