Stubbsy in NZ - Pt 4

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.

Stubbsy in NZ - Pt 4

I sure as hell hope you aren't sick of my New Zealand shots yet. These are from days 6 & 7.

#1 is from the Whakarewarewa forest of giant redgums (note the person in the distance - these are BIG trees) and #2 is a shot of the ever present Toi Toi grass

The Te Wairoa village was buried under mud and ash in 1886. Some of the site has since been excavated

Something a little more postcardy. This park is in the centre of Rotorua

I really like the last two, Peter. Shadows really add to the 2nd last image and symmetry in the last is fantastic.

Peter,

A great series. IMHO, keep posting away...in this series #1 with the tall trees is a standout for me..nicely framed and as you said before having the person there adds a reference...nice...

cheers

Peter,

certainly one thing I never get tired of is NZ.

I like the first two. The red cedar (not redgums :wink: ) is still great looking at it again. The Toi Toi grass is also very effective.

cheers,

André

Good set, but it gets strong each shot till the finish, so I rate them in reverse order. Please keep posting I'm enjoying all your shots Peter. Only 6000 odd left :)

Another great series of shots Peter. And again I like them all. Vivid colours make these standouts for me.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Thank you all for your comments.

Geoff looking at #3 again I'm inclined to agree. I'll go tinker with it.
