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 ....... but you could have tried a time delay and made a dash for the bridge for a slow walk off the end to give the shot more life :lol: :lol:

Looks a bit soft to me. Colours don't jump. Although I like the red reflection in the water it just looks a bit pedestrian. :) Maybe better at some other time of day...dusk or morning depending on your sleeping pattern...and a more imaginative angle (maybe closer, lower, with WA lens...just a guess)

Thanks for feedback Simon. The image is actually tack sharp but suffers from severe compression for web use, as for WA lens, well I only have a 70-200mm at the moment so it will have to do! :)

Great subject but you need to pick more sympathetic light. Soft and misty is called for. Onother thing I notice with digital photographers is that they rarely use very large F stops. Next time you go out force yourself to use F2.8 for every shot as an exercise and see if you like the result.

Some good points here Matt. It was getting on late in the afternoon when the light was starting to turn golden, however, the gardens were about to close and I didn't want to be locked in for the night!

Will try wide open next time. The 70-200 is noticeably soft at 2.8 and so I avoid using it there if I can but it is definitely worth a try. Thanks for the feedback.
