A few night shots in the city ...

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.

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.

Dave, these images aren't my cup of tea, but i have had a look at your website and i've got to say that you have some really nice images in there. Your snow photos are sensational and are definately the pick of the bunch. Keep it coming mate.

Hi Dave...
I prefer the horizontal shots... A couple more seconds and you would have had a winning shot in the recent competition... :lol: BTW... When do Rog & Alex come back???
Cheers, John

I have to say they are my favorite shots as well, the snow is defiantly one of my favorite places to be so I'm sure there will be plenty more where they came from!

Its strange but quite often I find myself tending towards portrait photos, I really need to work on the landscape shots ... more practice isnt a bad thing :wink:

Rog and Alex are back next weekend, I'll be interested to see how many photos Rog has!

I like them Dave, especially that fantastic sweeping s-bend in the second shot.

I didn't necessarily mean Landscape shots Dave - simply those that had a level horizon...
Can't wait to see Rog's European shots...

Ok, I might revistit the location and see what else I can come up with.

Yeah, though I'm sure they will just make me want to travel again! Not that it takes much for that.
