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.

Dee Why
So, I forgot to take the Timesnap photo, but before a late lunch at Dee Why, I took a couple of beach shots.
Not overly happy with them, but C&C appreciated. Also, these are linked to our smugmug site, so, I would appreciate it if the first person to view posts whether or not the photos are appearing. 
One of my key criteria, particularly for landscapes, is to avoid blown highlights - the histograms in the camera and PS indicate that these meet that criteria! Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Yep, four photos appearing just fine.
I like the first and third ones (except for the dark haze around the third one) but what I like tends to be different to everyone else! The second one I would like more if the lady in red wasn't bending over, sitting on the steps might have been good? Hope you all enjoyed the day, Elena Elena
I like #2 and #3 best. Those stairs going into the distance give a nice sense of depth.
The first three seem a bit edgy on my monitor, maybe a touch oversharpened, but could be dodgy downsampling/jpeg conversion, too. Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
I like the first one - there's something classic and quiet about it. The curved light poles look a bit odd in the following two (not your fault - they are, in fact, curved!).

Thanks for the comments.
Steffen - apart from the third one, I don't think I applied any sharpening apart from via ACR. Gary - you have befuddled me - I didn't lose my phone  Regards, Patrick

Oh - I am reasonably confident that wasn't me! Regards, Patrick

ahh, Dee Why Point. I've got scars from those rocks!
Nice pics pat.
It would appear from the shadow length that these may have been taken late afternoon but to my eye the colour balance just does not seem right or, maybe, the saturation.

Chris, I applied a plug-in effect which sought to give it a Velvia effect - perhaps it is oversaturated. That said, these were taken at about 3:22pm on Sat. Cheers Regards, Patrick

I don't know if I'd describe it as oversaturation, personally. I like highly saturated images, whereas other people don't.
So maybe they're highly saturated, rather than over saturated.
