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.

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.

I know, as a location, it's done to death. :oops:

I haven't done any as yet, and was keen to get out and have a go. Here's what I came up with.

All taken with d70s and 18-70dx lens.

Only a small amount of sharpening done in cs2.

Hopefully they turned out well, I think they look good.

C & C is most welcome :)

Any chance of making the horizons level? #3 in particular seems quite a few degrees off.

No matter how many times I see pics of my town, I still think they look great!

I like the 1st and 2nd shot, yeah... I think number 3 is abit slanted.

Well done!
Cheers,

Even if done to death, there's nothing wrong with YOU doing your take on these things.

Of these I like that you've got the moon in #3. In #2 I think it's a little desaturated (eg the pylon is more orange than that), but more importantly - I'd suggest you clone out that pesky bit of railing in the lower left corner.

Thanks for sharing these.

I really like number 1, but would crop a bit off the foreground grass, pushing the park bench to the bottom of the photo.

Agree with Stubbsy's suggestion to clone out the railing in number 2 or alternatively, do a tighter crop just above and below the foreground pilon. Looks great as a tight pano.

I also never get tired of photos of my home town. :D
