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.
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 would appreciate any comment on these three images taken recently. Two are near my home, Noosa area & the lake scene is at Lake Awoonga, just west of the highway near Gladstone. Worth a look if you are passing that way.
The Noosa Coast Guard tower was shot at midday, not the best time, but the light was so clear and the cloud sucked me in.
The sunset was on the Noosa River with the summer sun coming through some bushfire smoke. Very eerie.
Lake Awoonga was treated in PS with dual hue & saturation layers. The top one being desaturated 100% and all adjustments done on the layer below(blend mode = color). For a bit of fun, try this and then turn off the top greyscale layer & see what a mess you made of the colour layer.
Thank you
Col

4th one is most interesting because i find the tree in the lake intruiging growing
it woudl probably work better if you re-cropped to emphasise the tree more
the 1st pic is shot just off the main beach at Noosa right?

The tree was dead and therefore sufficiently ghostly, but the strong sunset lighting helped a bit. I have others of just the tree. All seem good.
The Coast Guard tower is just in the channel from the main beach of Noosa, yes.
Thanks Guys for the words
