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.

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.

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.

I deliberately have not pumped these 2 images up on the levels as i just liked the way they looked with a little less "oomph". Do you guys ever find that less is more in this regard?

For me, the first two are great, but the third doesn't turn me on. I think I would have tried a shot above the shrubbery in the foreground, commencing at the wind-blown dune grass. In my view, the way it is presents too many differing layers to the viewer, making it difficult to find something to visually attach too. If that makes sense to anyone, please PM me and let me know what I just said. :shock:

I also like the first one. With the second, I would try a tight pano crop around the detail, to focus on the sole figure and the sheen on the water.
