Ferry Hop Infra Red B & Ws

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 two shots from last weekend's AW ferry hop that I've processed a little differently to normal (they just didn't grab me as colour images). I used an infra red black and white filter from the Nik Color Efex suite on both. I'd be interested in your comments - especially since these are something a little different from me - no colour and not even landscapes really. Click a pic for a larger version.

I particularly like the first one - there's something about the scale that makes your eyes linger over all parts of the image. Very effective!

First one sings for me Peter..though I see no resemblance to infrared regardless of the filter. Nice to see something so different from you.

great stuff peter! the first one is quite intriguing from the chaos at the top from the patterns and heavy contrast, then total blacknexx, then seeing the people at the bottom of the escalator. Nicely spotted

The first one works for me the second one.. didn't at first but grew on me, it's just a fight of lines, reflections shapes and directions it's a bit hard to take in all in one go.

I like the first one too Peter, really draws you in. The second is just a bit messy in my view, lacks cohesion or something.
