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.

First 2 images are slightly PP'd.. i just softened the images a bit to give them a arty feel... last one.. Sigma 10-20... iso 1600 and 20sec shutter.. the full moon highlighted the landscape a fair bit and showed the distant hills

Love the first one shot, great feel and colour. #2 the sun spoils it for me. #3 is great, but I feel it could be improved if there was no tree obscuring the sky. Overall though, it is all good work.

Did the fish on the sand end up as dinner?

beautiful mood and colour tone especially in the 1st
the blowout on the 2nd is balanced well with the dark tone on the right

Tim. #1 is the best of these and the slightly unnatural colours work well. #2 - I'd echo the comments made already - too blown for me (but I do obsess about that). #3 - maybe it's my glasses, but it looks pretty blurry. Also the images all look quite dark (may be intentional) eg I didn't see the tree in #2 till someone mentioned it.

These are very different....very creative. I like the sensual feel of these pictures. They are dreamy.

Cheers for the comments

I only wacked the stars one up because i thought it might be a lil different..

the shot into the sun.. that was a tough one for me... but i was looking at it.. and even tho it has alot of glare and hotspot.. i thought it was different because it shows the whole sun...not a bit of it.. and it created the scene of 3 guys fishing on the rocks at sunset..

the fish one... well.. one of the guys i was camping with filleted it up.. and left it laying like that on a bit of driftwood.. i was sitting nearby and it caught my eye.. thought it'd look different

Tim
p.s. they are dark.. but i thought that'd enhance the mood...
