The Game

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.

Nice mate. Very moody image. I would consider cloning out the small coloured lights to keep in the moody feel. But thats just me, well done!!

Beautiful Leigh. Very moody. And colour even!

So now to wait for the rest of your Blue Mountains and Mudgee pics. I know there will be some other cracker shots like this one.

Sensational Leigh, love the fog! The lights are just fine for mine, I think they add to the gloomy atmosphere by peering through the fog (if that makes sense).

Interesting shot leigh, try cropping the bottom at the base of the upright and see what you think.

Lovely shot, very atmospheric.

Either the camera or the goal post isn't straight, the post seems to lean to the right a tad - or maybe I just need to stuff some more junk under one side of the monitor :)
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Absolute thirds - what a cracker, but I do agree about the lean on the goal post 8) :lol:

Fantastic composition!

You've got an eye for this kind of stuff. Many would have passed by going "uh, guys playing soccer in these miserable conditions".

Yeah, I noticed the goal-post as leaning too, but I corrected the rotation for the field horizon.

And the only PP this has had is to fix up some black-blur of leaves in the top left-hand corner, but other than that, this is entirely out of camera.

Wendell, yup, 'twas handheld.

I'll try the cropping thing later on tonight, Phillip.

Nice shot, I like how it mixes a simple but "graphic" composition with a moody atmosphere (the people's silhouettes and the fog).
