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.

I have close to a billion photos of this place - kinda went nuts. :oops:

Here's one :)

I never thought I'd say this, but I think the sky in these is a little too blue. Otherwise these are good - have a really alien feel to them.

Yeah - the old C-POL was working OT. That is how they are captured; there is virtually no saturation - just a bit of warmth to the foreground - in the PP.

We took the long way there, I think its only a few hours drive.

Time of day - from about 4pm till 7pm (sunset).

If you go to my gallery -> http://www.dionm.net/gallery/v/Trips/20 ... Pinnacles/ and look at the EXIF data, subtract 2hrs (I didn't change my cameras time from Brisbane time while there) you'll see the exact time of day I took the photos :)

Sunset is best for photos there, with the warm afternoon light. We stayed in Cervantes, which is about 20mins from the Pinnacles. I wouldn't want to try and drive back to Perth from there after sunset, unless you have a good bullbar!

Looks fantastic Dion, love the colours... the terrain does really shout SCI-FI film to me... I'm sure there was some alien life form hiding in the background :)

It's a great place to visit although i have a memory of almost punching a Japanese tourist who pissed me off while i was there. :) I only had film in those days so i didn't shoot billions of images.

Interesting photos. The polariser certainly got a workout :)
