End of the day...

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 think it's a beautiful capture Owen but agree with Steve that it lacks a little on the left. Fantastic colours and the focus on the web really makes for a special image.

Is it just me or does it seem to be tillted slightly to the left, judging by the tree line in the right background?

Cheers guys. I was focused on getting the web right so forgot about the background and also lining the shot up straight hehe.

Actually, I tried rotating it in photoshop but it didn't really look right to me.

Thanks for commenting.

Owen.

From the way it looks, the fence post is probably crooked so any straightening of the image would make either it or the horizon look wonky. Annoying!! :evil:

I really like this image, in particular the moody feel and rich colours. I wonder what a version might look like with the camera through the fence, fence on left of lens with the fence post taking up the left 1/3 vertical?

Thanks Rob. I have thought about that viewpoint since taking the shot, however there was a hungry horse right at the fence to my right, and although we were being friendly and giving him grass to eat I didn't want to push the friendship by jumping the fence.

I'll be going back there at some point though so I'll see if I can give your suggestion a go.

Cheers.
Owen.

Owen - lovely photo.
So I'm guessing it is horse hair stuck in the top wire of the fence?
