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.

First one is my favourite but they are all nicely composed and exposed, the clouds are great too.

Thanks Guys.

Craig, the first is my favorite too, but more work went into it as it is a composite of a couple of bracketed images. Didn't use a tripod so it hasn't quite lined up perfectly. Bottom left is a bit off. Easy fixed with a bit of cloning though :D

The other 2 have just had a bit of curves adjustment but are single images.

The first is definately the pick of the bunch for me, just seems to work well, the imposing structure set against the sky with great texture and detail...

Good creative angles...

Great shots Mark. First one is my favourite. I'm a sucker for urban subjects too (Though I still love shooting more natural surroundings and fauna). An ultra wide angle like the 10-20 must be a great piece of glass to have on hand for city stuff.

Thanks Kevin / Simon.

The 10-20 is great for those sort of shots especially with the enormous DOF.

I am going to wander around central Brissie when I get a chance. Should be good fun. :D

1st one is definately the pick Mark. Beware wandering around central Brissie - too many muggings and bag bandits :x

Byrt, Just lucky I guess 8)

Steve, maybe a mini-meet wander could be the go?

Catcha, Phenn, thanks for the positive comments. #1 is my pick of the group also.
