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.

Whilst digging around my hard drives, I found a collection of images taken at the start of 2002, well before my true love of photography began. I went on a trip with a mate and borrowed a friends Nikon CoolPix 885 to document it. Here are three images that I tweaked in Lightoom. Whilst all criticism is welcomed, please critique my editing skills more than anything (as these were taken well before I knew my rules of thirds from my aperture settings). RutherglenI really love this shot, but damn I wished I had my DSLR on a tripod and stood in the middle of the bloody road!  Australian Open 2002Not sure about this one, I kind of like the high contrast (thanks to the stadium shadow) because it brings out the tennis ball from the serve toss.  Nyngan Golf CourseRoyal Melbourne Golf Course, eat your heart out!. I like the scorched earth perspective, but I wish my mate in the background was a bit more noticeable.  Cheers, beej

I really like all three.
Not sure if #1 would actually be improved by centering, I like it how it is.

Love the first. And I agree with pippin88 that it looks good as is.

I love the trees and the way the mist in the background sort of curls the road up into them. I wish my 'before I knew anything about photography' shots were anywhere near as good. GJ
