Old Shed!

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.

Here is another black and white taken in Tassie! This was from a moving car so I was unable to get a better composition.

(edited to remove photo to keep within the sites limits!)

Cheers

Interesting subject and loads of potential there... considering you took it from the window of a moving car its okay... but sorry it does nothing for me at all... the composition isn't great and there is no detail to the sky...

Sorry...

you may spank me now.. ;)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

He he yeah ok!

I was thinking of adding another sky into the pic but haven't done so! UNfortunately this was taken in TAsmania and I wont be back for awhile!
Maybe I should scrap it?

What Bindii said.

You could try cropping it .... cut some of the foreground, and crop to just leave a bit of the edges of the tree on the RH side ...

But it will still leave you with a blank white sky .... which is where some major work might be needed.

I think this justifies a return trip!

Kinda... the building looks like its leaning backwards and I am sure that there is a way to tilt it forward.... I don't have photoshop on my work puter....and I am at work.. working *wink*... so I can't have a play with it myself.. but I might have a go when I get home (if I remember it) if thats okay with you?...
