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.

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.

Very nice Peter, I assume the water was naturally that colourful, is it the minerals etc that are in it that give it the aqua colouring ? Love the bubbling mud, the thermal shot reminds me a bit of Mic's work.. kind of reminds me of terminator 2 as well..

Terrific images, as usual, Peter.

I especially like #2 and #4. The inversion is a real eye-catcher.

I am mildly surprised at the colour of the mud in #3, which looks a little too chocolaty-brown to me. But you have captured the action perfectly.

I had a brief browse through your NZ photos at smugmug and it is a great place to visit.

Congratulations. :D

Sensational Peter!
The colours look spot on with just enough saturation for my taste. :)

Thank you all for your comments.

Craig - the water is indeed that colour as are some of the lakes (which you'll see more of when I post my south island pics). It's caused by the minerals in the water.

Trevor - thanks for pointing out my Sony colour processing in the mud shot. I've replaced it with a more colour accurate version.

Great images Peter. The waikato river looks good enough to throw a kayak into. Buggered if i'd be in the kayak though :)

Peter,
I like all of those. Number 2 I like best, it has a very 3-dimensional and natural look to it. Makes me feel like I'm there, looking at the falls.

Imagine what you could have achieved with a FF camera... :lol:

Cheers
Steffen.

The last 2 are great! They would make beautiful large fine prints and I can see them hanging up in an executive boardroom.
