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.

Taken with the DS and sigma 28-70/2.8 at f8 1/15.
had a lot of smoke around which coloured the blacks a red/brown so i added shadow to get deeper blacks.

That's a good capture Shane - well exposed and nicely composed.

very nice photo. however i think the red and green lights ruin the continuity of orange street lamps.
very nice though, and the red and green could not be helped obviously, and a P&P would just ruin the image.
nicely done :)

A classic image... Having gone through a bit of a pier fetish myself recently I can relate to it... :lol:

Seems nicely exposed too...

Only thought is to perhaps crop some off the top to raise the pier in the image, the green lights I assume you could change their hue in PP of you wanted to...

Mudder, it's actually a bridge; the Hornibrook highway 8)

Nice shot Shane, I've been wanting to go out there myself one evening.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Sorry to correct you Dion (you're bigger than me, actually you're bigger than 95% of the population) but it's the Houghton Highway. The old Hornibrook is in chronic disrepair just behind it. :lol:

I really like this image. A bit abstract and sort of soothing to look at. I always like the effect of a small aperture on lights. Perhaps a bit of a crop along the top...
Cheers,

I liked this when I first saw it because of the perfect exposure, a very hard thing to achieve.
