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.

Hi Adam, I think your first image is better because it's got more interest on the left. Here I can see part of that handrail and I just want to see where it goes. Nice processing though, I like what you've done with that.

This has some real mood to it... The way the dark angry clouds are rolling in, with the misty, creamy water... Works really well...

Hmmm, would possibly like to see the handrail more in the frame, looks lonely and forlorn with no-one there and could make a good middle-ground subject...

Just had a play, cropped it square, cropped off straight down between the two rock shapes on the right hand side near the edge of the clouds... Dunno if it's worth a try but seemed to give the image a different feel where the sky is more dominating...

Fantastic mood and feel in this image, very nicely done...
