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.

Hey I shot this one just before and I really like it. Since getting in to photography I have loved messing around with this sort of thing. Let me know if it works for you. Cheers Dan

Interesting colour and mood you've achieved, Dan, but for me there is a bit of a lack of foreground interest.
Cheers,

Do you have photoshop or even just some basic editing software that came with your camera?

The crop tool in photoshop is the third down on the left of your tools pallette. Or just press C to select it. Then click and drag your mouse to select your area and press enter when you're ready to crop.

Here's a tutorial I found in 20 sec of searching. There are better ones around, but this'll do.

Hey deaw..........maybe this has more impact or then again you could think it is total sh!t. Macka's crop suggestion is a good idea. I have gone too far with opening up the shot but wanted to express the possibilities of PS to you.....you have it so you may as well use it! I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve but I thought I'd post an extreme alternative for you.

My boarder is just an action someone gave me & I keep getting criticised on this site for using it (& so I should) but it's a shortcut to a lo-res postable image so in this case I took the shortcut to post the image for you quickly.
I'm just a mug punter learning about photography myself but I have learned heaps from this site and will always try to encourage others to do so. It's a great place to learn.
