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.

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.

This is a shot i did a few years ago from Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. Just wondering what else i can do to make it better. I think the actual building may be a little over done, but other than that what else?

Thanks!

I'm guessing this was either evening or pre dawn. To get the balance between the main subject and the surrounds I'd look to shoot where there is a little more ambient light around so the difference between the building and the forecourt is not as great. That should allow you to bring back the exposure on the building without plunging everything else into blackness. Not much more mind you.

Aside from that, it feels like there is a left to right slope that I find a tad unnerving, but a couple of the horizon lines I just checked do appear to be straight. I'm not sure if it is crooked or if there is just a slope in the foreground.

Perhaps just before dawn and do a HDR on it. I like the feel you have with that, I'd like to see the wording in the foreground emphasized a bit more though, more so on the edges.
