Just the one

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.

This is an odd image. There is something about the shot that really grabs me yet it's VERY dark and normally I'd think this a minus since there's so little shadow detail. As I say odd. It's best viewed bigger than this so click the pic to see it larger.

i don't see much wrong with this image stubbsy. I think you've managed to circumvent the lack of shadow detail with the pano crop. Printed large, this would hang beautifully on any wall

I believe the reason it looks so good is the fact that the colour gradually fades out as you move further down the photo. Nice blues and whites at the top finishing with the dark shadows at the bottom. Very nice.

It is an unusual image. Although not appealing to me overall, even when viewed large, there are some aspects that i find nice. The rainbow adds a good splash of colour to what is otherwise a bit of a dreary day. The colours of the mountains is interesting and typically volcanic. I like that.

Interesting image Peter.
