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.

Took these a while ago but couldn't quite get results I wanted with RSE and photoshop. Tried with Nikon Capture last night and got what I wanted. Was also inspired to have another look by pharmer http://dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17428&highlight=

All but the last oen appeal to me. Wonderful use of colour. I find NC gives better colour repro for my images too so generally my workflow starts there and I move to PSCS if I need to.

Nick - #2 and #3 are quite appealing. Vivid colours, nice and sharp

Wonderful contrasts between blue and gold

#4 lacks a main point and DoF is perhaps too narrow

Hi Nick,

good to see some photos from you :D

#2 and #3 are the best for me as well. If #1 didn't have the dark section at the top background, it would also be very nice.

Cheers,

André

Thanks for the comments.

When I first did the PP, #2 didn't even really get a look in - didn't come up as anything special with preliminary stuff. When I redid it, I found some curves just made it pop.
