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.

G'day all,
Was just playing with some images from NZ a few months ago, thought they'd make good subjects for B&W so thought I'd have a play and see what you thought... Amazing location, the entire beach is chock full of these old rotting stumps, fantastic subjects...
Appreciate any C&C, good and bad 
Cheers

Beautiful images Mudder, as usual. I like the first one the best, nice contrasting textures with the stumps and the stones.
Not too fond of the grain in the last though.
Again, really great photos.

Like Owen I prefer the 1st one.  The B&W treatment certainly does work here.

Very nice Andrew.
I prefer the composition of the 1st. I was wondering how they may have looked wtih a shallower DOF.

For me, #2 is the pick.
The alignment of the two drift stumps forms a line that draws you to the centre, and the awesome clouds at the top also draw you into the same point.

wow the first 2 are great
but
if i have to choose i will prefer 2, becuase of the composition as well the stones's tones. also the blur (movement) of the clouds.
thanks for sharing

Excellent b&w images mate. For me #1 works the best. Love the high contrast scene. Each rock looks like its been individually laid down. The sky is amazing.
