My Office

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.

Where do you plug the photocopier??

Beautiful shots Rel - we're all very jealous of your current working environment. (I bet you can't wait to get back to the real one!!!)
:lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Quick note: First one is very saturated - did you play with this??

You do, Nito - it's called "Evian" (which, perhaps not coincidentally, spells "naive" in reverse...)

Wow Rel,

great photos, that first one has wonderful colours while #2 is very peaceful.

I thought I had a nice office working from home, close to the beach,... now I'm envious :wink:

Thanks,

André

Wow, I've never had a view like that when I've stayed at work, sigh...

It's places and views like that, that make you stand in awe at the beauty and serenity of nature... Lovely images (although the greens in #1's a smidge to sat for me, although if you lose just a little lightness/luminosity on the greens it would work)

Narelle,

Luckily, like yourself and Damien, I also have a rainforest as my 'office' for part of my working life (while guiding for Binna Burra Mountain Lodge in Lamington National Park). I have to agree, its hard to beat.

Absolutely delightful rainforest shots (although do agree with some others that no.1 could do with a tad less saturation) and captures the scene beautifully.

You are a natural and upto your usual high standard.

Congrats

Cheers

Michael

All right you win! You are one of the few that has an office nicer than mine.
And it presents so well too.

Lovely work, the first one just a tad over saturated for me too.

Thanks all for your comments :) ... had to share, sorry - is such a beautiful spot !!!!

I agree, a tad oversaturated, but done very quickly yesterday when we got home, between unpacking gear, washing and trying to have a shower (and remove ticks and leeches).

Bernie - I think I did use lab colour for these 2 shots, was playing really .... have only just started using lab colour in the last couple of days (after reading about it with you guys) :)

the very very spoilt Rel :)

ps - Simon - you'd be amazed where you can plug in a photocopier !!!! ;)
