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.

I really like #1 and #3 for the wonderful detail in the leaves. #2 and #4 are a little flat to me too, but I think it's because they are both too bright. Peter

I love the composition of #1 and #4. I wouldn't have said they look flat, but after hearing that comment, I would probably play with #4 a bit more.
I too love trees, but they never come across as I would like in my photos. You have captured them nicely. Canon EOS 350D Tamron 18-200mm
Just what do you think you're doing Dave?
Are you guys using LCD monitors or what? They look fine on my home and work monitors. They were taken on a cloudy day so maybe that is having an effect on how you see them. I'm a little perplexed as to how to correct them when they look fine at my end so I guess it's just a hazard of posting on the WWW.
 It would be nice if we were all seeing the same thing but there ain't no such technology at the moment. Peter...I'm not sure what you mean.Regards

Matt, normally your processing is really impressive, but I have to agree, these seem a little flat/like the could use more saturation. Our monitor is not calibrated, but seems pretty close when we get things printed...
Cheers,

As you know I have both LCD and CRT and they look similar on both. When I say they look flat because they are too bright I mean they look like the brightness needs dialing down. More technically I think they need a curves adjustment to make the image darker and more moody. As they stand the wonderful foreground fades into the background a little - especially in the last shot. Peter

But at the end of the day they're your images. What YOU like should be paramount. Peter

Matt.K,
Now you understand him!
It's tough, isn't it? Birddog114

Matt,
Pics no. 2 and 4 are my personal favs. It must be frustrating to have so many people say they like them but they look a little 'flat'. To be honest, I'm another one. My monitor has been calibrated with a Spyder Pro II and they are missing some 'punch'. Still like them though. Well done Cheers Michael
