Balloons over water (2 images)

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.

It's got to be #2 here as well.

This image is classic Canberra. The lighting is spot on, the reflections are glassy, it's sharp and the mountain is iconic.

You've captured what I've been seeing in my head for a couple of years!

You utter, utter, utter bastard. WIsh I could achieve something as good as this. The quality of your work including and post the South America trip has leapt forward significantly. #2 by a nose, but both are very good.

Stephen,

wow, that is Canberra :D :D

Very relaxing, colours are great, I love them both. The only thing I would do is clone out the cranes in the skyline in the 1st one.

wonderful photos, thanks for sharing,

André

Thats is really nice to hear Peter. I can only "blame" this forum for this :shock: (constantly insipres new ideas and encourages frequent practice)

Thanks everyone else for the good feedback on these shots.
