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.

nicely done, no. 2 and 4 are my favourites. Nice control of the flare with no abberations. I like the simplicity of no. 2 and the symmetry of 4 with the colours.
:D

Telopea park - I live just near here and have been enjoying the lovely vista for the past few weeks. The images with the popplars are very nice. Gorgeous colours.

Much better Thommo - can see these now.

#4 - great use of perspective and wonderful autumn colours.

#3 - odd shot - it looks REALLY wintery because of the desat treatment - I keep looking for the snow.

#1 doesn't quite work for me because, despite the colours in the top of the image, the foreground is too much in shadow.

Growing up in Canada, I do miss the autumn colours. One of my jobs growing up was to rake those bloody things :evil:

I got to appreciate them more as I grew older and wiser 8)

#4 I really like, nice perspective, sharp, good colours. In the second set, I like the second one. At your mini-meet on Saturday, get your 50mm on and get close to the nice leaves, it would make a nice one with all the different colours.

thanks,

André
