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.

it wasn't an expected trip at all..in fact I was offered the chance to go with expenses paid in exchange for doing some small photography jobs and shooting a wedding while I was there on a Tues and I left Australia three days later on the Friday...what a mammoth organisational effort that was!

I couldnt possible post all the shots that I took while I was there (England, France and Germany) but I'll try and make a few small threads with just a couple of pics in each as I get through my editing...

These were taken close to London...in a place called Virginia Waters...I was lucky enough to arrive just before all the leaves had fallen off the tree's...also a shot of Windsor castle here...which is close to Virginia Waters...:)

Bindii, the first is just classic autumn and the last seems like a postcard. Congrats on your trip, sounds like a great deal!

bindii,

great shots there, love the first three, last one is a postcard one, but still prefer the first ones. Certainly was a great opportunity to get there.

thanks for sharing and looking forward to your other threads,

André

Thanks Guys...It really is beautiful there...very chocolate box type scenery...

Sirhc I can see why you took your girlfriends to Virginia Waters...its very romantic...*wink wink* I presume you lived locally there did you?

And Alpha you and your wife will love it there..I so can't wait to go back...I wasn't there for nearly long enough...although I was lucky in the way that I have a lot of friends who live in the UK...all of them photographers from another photography forum that I frequent...it was great to meet so many of the members while I was there....and it had the additional benifits of them being able to take me to the best spots for photography...oh and the free drinks were nice too...;) I'll post some more threads shortly...sorry I'm so not organised enough to have a gallery...

Great shots! I like them all.

The road in the last one seems a little 'pink', but I have never been there so what do I know!

Boy, I am starting to miss seasons (I am an Australian-Canadian), so many more opportunities for different shots.

Doug

Edit: But the bugs are much better here! :D
