The Jags (Dial-up warning)

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.

Leigh

The second black & white is a brilliant perspective shot. The second and third colour ones are great detail shots (especially #2). I also quite liked the one below. You got way more shots than I did. I must have spent too much time talking.

Hi Leigh, really like the third. Is is an IR or some unusual B&W conversion? I noticed the full colour version on your site.

I love the B&W conversion, particularly in #3 & 4. Can I ask how you did the conversion?

Great, strong images in general.

Very nice Leigh, but please limit your post to three or four images.

The black and white conversion is done using Virtual Photographer and one of my presets... the same one I used when I blacked the sky.

And I'm updating it to take ego trips out of the equation.

If there's a good reason that one needs to display this many images, fine.

But in future, the amended rules - which have nothing to do with file size, but everything to do with the reality of what this section should be about - should be respected.

Yes, 3 - 4 images are adequate to show off your takes, more than that, a link is suitable and recommended.

I'm completely against this rule and we're discussing at the moment.

I'm still likely to post a maximum of 10 images.

Likewise, I'm going to amend my suggestion to people of post images at a preferred 3-4 but a maximum of 8-10.

And as a point of clarification, 2 (or 3, or 4, or however many) different images, combined into the one file, remains two (or however many) different images.

My concerns here are very simple: too many images within the one post is simply too difficult to look at, assimilate, and provide a critique upon.
