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.

Hi Kane,
Firstly welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your stay here and please feel like one of the family around here.
Wow..you set the bar high with your first image post!
I love both of these but I prefer the first one.
I like the boat shot but prefer the all natural surrounds/environment of the first.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Geoff, I Kinda just stumbled upon this forum, so thanks for having me, looks like a useful place with lots of new threads and heaps of activity.

I know what you mean, re the first image, I like the nature aspect also, we were so lucky with the moon coming up at the right time.

Welcome and great images grrr!
I particularly like #1 BTW #1 would be eminently suitable for the competition Big Red is running this weekend.

I got up at 3:30 to try for something similar, but it was cloudy here.

Welcome [kane].

Image #1 is a beautiful composition. Not for the moon, not for the time of day but for the tree. The tree ties it all together into one powerful image.

Thanks everyone.... the 2nd one made first page of explore, so I'm told, highest I saw it was #17, so ill stick with that.

Yeah I love this tree, its such a great spot, at low or high tide.

#2 is my favorite also, because of the moon as it was a bonus!

Thanks again for all the comments.
