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.

Haines Pier

Postby losfp on Thu Aug 16, 2007 12:09 am

This one was taken in Haines, Alaska. It was raining and we were hurrying back to the ship after coming back from a shore excursion. I didn't even think about it at the time, but I just put the camera up to my eye, snapped and kept going. I guess I'm a sucker for vertical long pier shots :)

Despite the rushed shot and eagerness to get the camera back into the dry ship, I think it came out alright - the diagonal lines lead nicely into the shot

Excellent actually considering you were in a hurry... :)

I'd crop a little off the top just to balance it out... but its still very good...
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Nice leading lines, and I really like the lamp-posts the repetition of them down the pier is great.

What they said!

I also like the man walking down the pier, it also leads into the image with the ship as a destination - makes the photo more 'alive' to me than if it was just the pier by itself.

Unless of course you only wanted the pier and the man/ ship are distractions .... :)

Really like this one. especially the effect of the upside down "J" shaped light poles.

Is it possible to clone out the bird poo?


I dont know for sure but I think maybe the pic would be better without it.
