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.

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.

Very nice!

It looks like the houses in the first shot are sorta just piled haphazardly ontop of each other. The colours look cartoonish.

I'd probably like to see it straightened up a little (rotated to the left)

Second one is georgeous!

The water in the first one is great - I'd maybe crop some of the sky out & give the rocks & water more impact & clone out the little red thingy in the middle.

The sunrise is gorgeous.

Paul,

I think that that's about as straight as you can get Bronte to look. It almost looks European, with the "boxes" all piled up like that.

But I'm puzzled: where's Charlotte?

Rod, great shooting.

Rod, two great images. I'd also crop half the sky from the first one, but regardless they are both excellent.

I forgot to clone out the red thingy, which is actually a swimmer.

That is about as straight as the area gets at Bronte

Thanks for the comments Guys

Yep... Get yourself IExif from opanda.com and you'll be able to cut & paste to your heart's content... Mind you... If other people use IExif, then you wouldn't have to tell them what it was... :lol:

Here's the relevant part of the Exif for your 1st shot:
Exposure Time = 3"
F Number = F11
Exposure Program = Aperture priority
ISO Speed Ratings = 200
Cheers, John

Great shots, both. I have to agree that the frames are a bit oversized for the images. :D
