Hills Thrills

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.

Lots of fun - reminds me of the days we used to swing around on ours, nice shots caught the memeories and atmosphere for me can almost hear the laughter

Nice, original image. There is some lens flare on the right that may be worthwhile to clean up, but i like it.

Part of me thinks it would be great to see a kid hanging off it- but then I think it would lose its point of difference.

You must have a pretty sturdy tripod!

I'd be interested to see which image people preferred. The 1st one or this one?

2nd one for me for sure. Love the red dash on the right and the handle. Only thing I prefer in the first, is the absence of the trees in the BG.

Both are very good, but I think the presence of the handle helps in the second, as well as the flash of red.
