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.

Snapped this photo during winter. The original photo was shot in colour but didn't really do it for me. A bit of PP, primarily changing it to black and white resulted in the following image. The colour version seemed to hide to much of the snow texture and patterns in the clouds.

Wow, I really like it, to me it could be snow or it could almost be desert with a sandstorm coming. Either way the treatment is very well done.

On the main range I take it?

Great shot, although to me the sky is a little too dark. Was that taken on a day trip or camp?

Photo is of Mt Kosciuszko from near the Cootaputumba Lookout. Just a day trip out from thredbo. Snow was old and crusty - good day for a walk but definitely not worth skiing anything.

For this shot to be correctly exposed without using filters the sky will always come out dark (because it is relative to the snow), even more so in the black and white image.

Ahhh, I see! I'm still learning about where and when to use certain filters and what not.

I did my first overnight BC trip at the end of the season this year. Just went out from Guthega and got a couple of turns on the drift where the cornice is and camped there the night. I'm hoping to get out for a couple more trips this year.
