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 first and third pics. Wondering what it would look like with a b&w conversion with more contrast on the shadows and highlights, rather than just a straight conversion.

I like number 2, it reminds me of the cyclone movie Twister.

Thanks for sharing, I like to see the coverage and range of lenses I am considering!

Ummm, I think you'll find 'Twister' was about tornadoes...not cyclones!! ;)

#1 does it for me! Nice leading lines. The others make me feel a little dizzy...especially after 3 glasses of red :oops:

#1 here too.

#4 is weird. Makes my Mazda 6 look very spacious.

As a road trip series they seem to work really well. That fish eye lens is great in the interior car shots, esp. the window. Looks like a great trip.

I'll have a couple more up for critique from this lens soon - also a few in my flickr gallery in the Mudgee NSW section.

The occupants or the angle :D

I should note, that while our Stubbsy is unique, he doesn't have the seats in his car installed at 20 deg angles.

Hi Daniel,

Like the others, #1 is really nice. The FE almost makes Peter's Mazda look like a Volvo, but alas, the passenger is wearing the hat :lol:

I had a look last night, you got some really nice photos on our flickr gallery, always enjoy your perspective.

Cheers,

André
