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.

Midnight Sun
Hi, I just want to share this shot from yesterday. C&C would be appreciated. I'm especially interested in what you think about the blown highlights. Cheers.

Nikon d80, an ever-changing collection of cheap glass, and 0 art-sense.
Abel,
I think that the blown highlights have somewhat degraded what could have been a beautiful image. I guess the other problem (more with the concept than the image) is without a point of reference it is difficult to determine the difference between a "midnight" sun and a sunrise/sunset.
Hi Asaroha
The highlights are definitely blown - well and truely! I would image the scene would have been absolutely spectacular to see visually. Capturing spectacular scenes by camera is very difficult because the camera reduces the scene size. I think the only way to display panoramic scenes is to display them on the largest viewing screen possible. The cold landscapes and warm sunlight interplay very well in your photograph. Well done! Cheers Graham
IMHO and take this for what its worth from someone who's been doing this for 5 minutes, but the blown highlights detract from the rest of the picture as my attention is drawn towards it not the rest of the view.
Obviously others may have a different view.
I agree with the others - Maybe try cropping the top off just above the long grey cloud - hopefully that would put the focus back on the sunlight rather than the blown sky.
