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.

Jee, where do you work, centre point tower...? ;)

Those shots are very sharp and detailed, and you caught some really good light. I like!

Cheers

Nice pictures.....

Obviously from the air, taken of my home town - Brissy.....

First pic is from above the Valley? looking south..... and is my favorite.

#2 seems disjointed to me with its narrow focus on those buildings at the bottom.....

#3 isn't showing (Processing Image graphic).

The first is fabulous, I haven't seen a post card that looked this good. Where is it shot from? The third image doesn't open for me either.

Steve, not sure how to improve the first one, I like it as is.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments.

This winter has been bizarre as far as the weather goes. Lots of very strong westerly winds which has meant no flying on 2 out of 3 days but when it has been flyable the visibility has been absolutely spectacular. The last 2 mornings we have been able to see Double Island Point from Brisbane - a distance of over 200 km. Until yesterday I hadn't seen visibility like that in 20+ years of flying balloons around Brisbane.

For a moment I thought you must work in a really tall building. Pretty cool job you've got flying balloons. :)

I'd love to say I wasn't this silly.... But I thought exactly the same thing. :oops:

Great pics Steve. Is that the Glasshouse Mountains in the distance? If so, it sure must have been a clear day! :shock:

Very tall building - about 1500 feet with a transparent section between floors 3 and 99 :lol:

The mountains in the distance are to the south, Barney, Lindsay and Flinders Peak.

As for the job.... it beats working :wink:
