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 like the second one the best... i thin both could use a touch more contrast... and perhaps a tad more saturation in the second one.

cheers

Had issues initially seeing the pic but now it's fine.

1st pic - Love the cool colour cast to emphasise the chilly morning. The DOF is rather nice as well but I'm not too keen on the subject matter.

2nd pic - Well capture lighting, but wondering whether the composition might have been better if the sun was off to the top right or top left corner so you can capture all of the sun rays and the light shapes created on the ground.

Either way, well capture and might be worth a revisit :)

ahh ok, wasnt even sure if they would work at all. i used the adress from my deviantart space. photobucket wont seem to let me upload photos larger than 400 x ... if they are it resizes them to that even tho they are small enough files. maybe i have to many photos on there :? ah well.

I really like the second one, it's funny how the sunlight can be so harsh and soft at the same time, and I love the dewy grass.

Nathan, looking a bit crispy there. We have been getting these -1 and -3 and very icey in the mornings here down the bottom of SA. Nice pics though captured the coldness.
