The Pathway!

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.

Nice shot Scott.
The range of colours and their contrasts are very appealing. Well done.

Thanks Geoff, my girlfriend wasn't too happy with the cloudy skies but they sure made for some good photography! I cant wait until the vineyards start to get more foliage on them in the Margaret River area!

I think I am starting to get the hang of this photography caper!

That wooden platform blocks the eye from travelling along the path. Composition wise it is akin to saying "go no further'. Apart from that it has some excellent elements and winding pathways are always a treat to work with.

Hmmmm I was thinking that the steps lead into the photo! But I could be wrong I may try a crop without the steps and see what it looks like!

I kind of liked the steps too. It stops it being your standard beach/shoreline shot.

I'd be interested in how your cropping works out.

I like the steps too, they tend to lead the eye into the path and add depth.
