Wander around Tullebudgera

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.

Decided to wander in between games at the Handball. We were at the venue from 8am til 5pm, so there was plenty of down time between games.

Came across this fence on the beach...

A couple of bottlebrushes...

It was very windy. These Lorikeets had to brace themselves to stay in the tree.

Don't mind the fence...perhaps I would've gone in even closer for more or an abstract image focussing on the patterns on the wood.

Flowers are nice, I prefer #2 to #3 because it's less busy. Were they really that pale or is it a bit too much flash in #2? Maybe a bit of saturation of the yellows would brighten it up a bit...

#4 is very cute but a little busy.
Cheers,

Suzanne, like your bottlebrushes, both of them. The fence just doesnt do it for me and I think I would prefer the birds close up

I like the bottlebrush shots, I think on my screen atleast they look a little flat, perhaps a bump in sat and contrast might bring them to life a little.

The birds are a little too obscured (and far away) the white background is a challenge to shot with too.

The fence is a little so-so for me, I like the general concept but the end result doesn't seem to impress.

Actually this is a cream coloured bottlebrush, not a yellow one. The colour is pretty spot on in terms of being real. It was a grey old day, and that is probably what you are getting.
