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.

you seem to have a blue cast on the first shot (the steel work is too blue and there is blue in the shadows) warming up the white balance will remove this and add color to the decking and to the rust on the steel work
I like the composition of the last one, I'm not sure where the blue in the reflection in the paving is coming from but it may also be a white balance issue or just the lighting they are using, see what happens if you warm this one a little as well

The first has a MAJOR blue cast as Keith has already said. When I first looked I thought that steelwork was painted blue! That said I love the image - it's an interesting composition and it's well exposed. #3 is also great - you've managed an angle on a much photographed object I've not seen before.

hey, stubbsy, thanks mate.

i had a fiddle with the WB as Firsty said, and it made all the difference.

the temp was about 5100, but took it up to about 6000 and now it looks really natural and much better...thank god for RAW.

gota pay more attention to WB i guess, i tend to forget it and leave it up to the cam to much.

cheers.

actually quite like the first shot! Even with the blue cast ... you could even boost the saturation higher..
