Something a little more subtle

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.

Love them all Matt but "Timber Slats" is a real stand out. Beautiful in its simplicity.

The grass blade in front of the rusty car body distracts me but I really love this series.

Thanks!

I'm with Manta, the photo of "timber slats" is superb
And the "Buick" hub cap, is that wheel brought here by the Yanks since their Civil War? :lol:
Good and nice series.

Matt

Hats and timber slats both have a lovely silky softness to them - superb. Rusty car body comes a close second except for the aforementioned blade of grass.

For me its first the hub cap, then the hats. I appreciate the simplicity of the timber slats, but the others offer a little more interest in the detail for me!

Simple and effective shots Matt. Love the series but the hats and timber slats stand out for me.

Nice series, Matt. The hats & the wagon wheel are standouts - great contrast in the wheel
