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.

Beautiful Pa, the only thing that niggles me about this shot.. well there are two things.

The red tee marker, but its a golf course so thats ok, just looks out of place at first. But the bigger niggle is the forground plant on the far right.


Other then that I like the shot.

nice spot... and not a bad capture.

regarding the photo i think a little bit more contrast and perhaps some further saturation... possibly try taking the shot again so that the tee off on the right hand side is a bit more prominent in the foreground? just my thoughts :)

cheers

Like the framing and nice exposure/lighting, has plenty of sat for me... Hmmm, if you did get back there, I'd be tempted to either exclude the foreground blades of the plant from the frame, or make more of a foreground item out of them... Being bloody picky here though :lol: as it does look great...

Actually I was just looking at that image again, and thought why don't you contact the Golf Course, get a couple of guys standing ready to tee off etc, buggies and stuff at the tee setup to wait for the photo and sell it to them as a packaged deal with print etc...? Worth a thought? It does look a really nice aspect so if you went again etc... Never know...

It would definately work better if there were a few golfers getting their shots ready. Love the light. Everything about this screams promotional pic, IF there were a couple of guys there with their gear :)
