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.

i'll try not to bore you with the 9000+ pics i've just finished transfering from a usb1.1 device to my pc. I may have to get picky when i choose which ones to print, but this one is going on canvas.

Simon,

gorgeous shot of the Eiffel tower. Certainly worth framing. Just a little niggle, for me anyway, is the jet trail going through the top. If you print it big on canvas, it may look even more obvious, you may want to clone it out.

Looking forward to the 8999 others :D

thanks,

André

wonderful picture, of a magnificent building.

Interestingly, I found out that any pictures of the Eiffel tower at night are copyrighted to the tower, or paris, or something. But that might be hearsay.

Very nice pic.

No Matt it's been talked about previously on the forum and I think Trent bravely flaunted the french laws by posting, and I'm still waiting for them to arrest him :lol:

obzelite - love the lighting and the angle, I don't mine the jet trail, but the lights on the base, the normal lights kind of detract for me..

Ah ha, case solv-ed.

And I think the jet trails are in fact the lights at the top of the tower.

I think the picture is wonderful, and I agree that the lights do look a bit like a jet trail, but personally I dont mind them.

The lights at the top are the beacons that rotate on the top. I have some others on a longer exposure where you can see the beams in an arc.

And somehow, possibly just under french law, photos taken at night in paris that include the tower are subject to copyright from the owners of the tower.

That could be why 95% of the postcards feature the tower during tha day, and night postcards cost 5 times as much as day shots.

Gorgeous. A cliche for sure, but a very nice one.
