Something a little different from me

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.

If you have any thoughts about them then please go right ahead. Do they work as abstract-type shots

I really like the first, the second for me isn't as strong.

When you want to, mind letting us know what it is ?

Willy W they are both quite intriguing abstracts. I seem to come back to number one but in doing so it feels like my gaze is continually spat out to the periphery of the image only to follow the strands back to centre bottom of frame and out again. Quite interesting.

G'day WW,

These are terrific, I prefer the way the lines radiate out in the first more than the second, hmmm just thinking about it, now I'm wondering if the highlight in the TL cnr of the first is what's making me prefer the first...

Good abstract, they work well for me...

I guess these come down to a matter of taste. I'm not big into abstract pictures so these don't appeal to me too much.

That said, the first picture is definately stronger than the 2nd. I can appreciate what you're trying to do with these.

Well done for trying new things.
