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.

Nice work on #2.
Good to see the rear suspension on the beetle doing what it does best :D

Have you considered cloning out the power lines in #1?

1st shot is great - was it cropped - I would have like to see the trees either side.
2nd shot is awesome and I like the bug too.
3rd shot - as Chris said is for the memory - nice sharp shot none the less.
Cheers,
Mick

Thanks for your comments.
As you say the third is just a memory shot .
No1 was cropped to remove the building on the right and cloning out the power lines is a bit beyound by skill level at the moment.
