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.

Hmm... I cant say why this shot doesnt appeal to me in a way, there is something in there lacking or too much of which spoils its beauty...

I'm only thinking of either a wider or tighter composition there with the brighter and more colourful side.

I really like it. I can look at lots of details, which I love in a pic. Agree with tighter? Maybe a crop with just the club house, but like this one as is too!

Pehpsi,
I too think it's a nice image, though for me personally it seems a touch too symmetrical.
If the horizon was not down the middle of the image it might hold more interest.....IMO.

I also agree about the wider view.

Was it possible to get closer to the water ? Perhaps next time you could try taking it from a lower angle to give a different perspective ?

However, in saying all this, that is what I'd look to do & doesn't mean this is what YOU should do. Remember, this is your interpretation of what you saw and decided to photograph. As much as all this is technical, it is also artistic in nature :)

...but this is a great place to post images and receive wonderful & helpful feedback, so keep on posting those images !

cheers, dave. it was possible to be closer, but there were some stoners close by, so i was further away than i would have liked..and i had to use my tamron 70-300, maybe my kit lens (18-70) would have been better from closer and lower i think...

thanks for your feedback :)
