A bit chilly this morning

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.

I haven't had much time to take photos lately. Decided to get out and about on a frosty morning in Lancefield.

Nice pics mate. You must have been pretty determined to get thos images to climb out of bed when it's that cold. I would have been tempted to try and pump up the red in the first image to try and get that little bit of 'warmth' in the morning sunrise.

Well done!

Very nice series of images - they might look good as a set in a single frame. :)

Chris, #2, #3 and #4 are just great in my opinion. Must try some early morning frost ones myself.

Thanks all,


One of the good things about photography is that you get to see what I saw without freezing your bollies off.

It was a little overcast this morning so the frost hung around a bit longer than normal. These taken about 9am, still it was damn cold.

I really love these photos :D

This is something I've always wanted to do but lack of opportunity and some lazyness have kept me from taking this kind of photos.

Hat off to you, great photos.

Some of these images must be suitable for image of the month, they are just fantastic.
