BURNING SKY

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I like this image as it has a lot of depth, not only in colour but also in subject matter......... I do not mind an image being pushed beyond the boundries, as there are no rules..........

Dee,

It is a treat to see this with all its 'packaging' colours. I keep finding I relate to different areas of the image differently - while the receding planes of the ranges are very 'fanstastic' the reflections in the water remind me of old paintings of valleys at sunset from when I was a kid.

There is something just a tad jarring for me in the balance of the forms and perhaps that may warrant review. Less of the 'fluorescent' end may lend greater significance to the lone power transmission tower standing sentinel shoowing an important 'hand of man' in this otherwise idyllic wilderness .... or your could have panned across to exclude the tower and made the coloured recession of ranges the focus. As it stands at present it is what I refer to as a SCHNEIDER shot - Schneider dis, nor dat.

Nevertheless it is quite wonderful.

Cheers,

Dee the image is visually appealing in its ability to provide me with a sense of serenity and forebodance all at the same time. Love the transition of colours from somewhat muted to quite vibrant. Composition is also noteworthy. Great effort! :)
cheers

Love the sky colouring, but landmass is a little to blue for me.
