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.

A couple from Krakow, Poland

Both were taken around Krakow's Main Square

In the second one I couldn't decide how to rotate it. The top pipe is horizontal, but the bottom of the wall descends to the left. Those medieval walls ;-) I find it a bit distracting. What would you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance~

Both great. I like #2 as it is. The pipe reads horizontal. The sloping base simply reads as a slight hill
If you do want to play around, why not consider lining up on a vertical. Though they seem to be a bit all over too.

I like the first one. It is nice light coming from the building.

I think the second looks good as it is. The first part of the picture I saw, was the top ... You get that when you are scrolling down in the browser I suppose :lol: And the top is nice and level. I didn't really notice the slight level at the bottom, until I read you description.

These are nice shots Lukaszec. Was the person painting these as you watched?
#2 could be rotated anti cw a couple of degrees to get the pipe and street more level if you wanted.

I love the second one. So complex and colourful and the two empty chairs top it all off.

Colin, the guys were just selling them, some of them are copies of one of the most famous polish paintings. Thanks for the hint on rotation.
