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.

Truly horrendous conditions for sightseeing and photographing. However with massive curve adjustments and other tricks in PP, I've managed to pull something out of my arse to show you guys.

"Seven Star Crag Mountains", the AAAA rated National Tourist Attraction - I'm still trying to figure out what the Crag is supposed to be.

It's got a kind of brown tinge to it though... No... we won't go there ;-)

Nice shot Onyx... Looked thru your whole Zhaoqing gallery... Looks like an interesting place to visit... many beautiful sights...
Loved the Engrish stuff too... but then I shouldn't really laugh coz my Cantonese is not that good...
Cheers, John

Good to see that we're all polite about it. Last time I pulled something out of my arse to show a bunch of people they all ran away screaming.
I like this pic. BTW, sounds like you've got a pretty cool job, need any vacation time? :D

I think the mist just adds a different feel to the usual blue sky shots... Real atmosphere...

not bad considering where it was pulled from :shock:
I would consider removing some of the branches in the foreground though and make it a shot of stuff in the distance.
