Inside Quarantine

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.

Wow number 3 for me.

Did you add any lighting to the scene or is that how it appears on site?

Peter, hard not to like all of these. I like the light in 3 and love the composition in 4, somehow feel a little more PP may make it shine more, maybe even a crop at the first support on the left.

wow - excellent series of shots - makes you wonder about the people who owned the suitcases (well I do anyway :) ) - I think that #3 would be fantastic as a portrait crop with the life ring in the centre (just me), but I love it the way that it is :)

You're loving that low-light work aren't you! Love the last one, with the cases - the best out of your current crop :)

Rel I didn't do a portrait version, but I also took one focusing just on the ring:

Definitely #3 as well, and #4 is not far off. Great work, love the lighting. The portrait version of #3 is works really well, but seems too shallow, I like the depth of the original.
