Be cruel some more

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.

i like how you see the texture colour and form in all images
however i think in the last it woudl of been better to zoom in to the patterns in the net all i see instead of those beautiful intricate patterns is a cage thing which doesnt look so nice

the architectural shot i like too but i think to enhance all those geometrical patterns the image needs more contrast for a more pronounced graphic look the looks a bit dull to me and its not the sort of moody dull it's just to even in tone

the 2nd one is purrfect beautiful tones and receeding elements love it

I have no idea why some folk can see them and some can't? To frustrate the matter further sometimes I can see them and sometimes I can't. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

To complicate matters further, I can now see them.

Not sure about the third (no real focal point here) but first two have interesting aspects. #2 probably my pick of the bunch. Thats a whole lot of metal.

I like the second image Matt.. beautifully exposed with detail in the shadows and brighter areas of the image.

Number one looks great i love that kind of picture but maybe the smallest increase in contrast might just make that first building stick out that little bit more.
Number two is my favourite a very different perspective.
Number 3 does'nt do too much for me sorry the crop is a bit tight down the bottom and the pole running across the top right corner is a bit distracting.

No 2 is great, no 1, I think needs more contrast as Wendell said to really make it stand out (despite some ordinary architecture, Sydney CBD does have some great shapes when looked at from the right perspective), and no 3 doesn't hold much attention for me. Perhaps a tighter crop?

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
