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.

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.

Flowers always do it for me and as Mark has said the flare in #1 works. I am amazed at the number of ships standing off Newcastle, unless they are cloned

Nick
I actually prefer #4 to #5 as I like the perspective. It feels like the water is heading for me. Like the others I think #1 is good too. The spider one is a little ho hum though. Roll on the macro lens

Chris: Nope not cloned, there are virtually always that many ships hanging around newcastle. A nice pano might get 10+ on most given days.
I might have a go at making the sky bluer in #1.
The flower in #2 is more vibrant in the RAW file.
Peter: The spider shot was just an attempt to capture the colours reflected off the spider web. I have ones that have better colours, but due to flare are rather hazy throughout the whole shot. Should have grabbed a piece of cardboard to stop some of the flare.
I have more to look through (before I even attempt to PP any) - didn't get round to it as NC crashed (I need more ram really).
Thanks for the comments.

Very moody Nick, although maybe a trifle (but only a trifle) too dark

I love #6...pity there was not "3" in the shot! Could have used it for the challenge ( maybe some PS work can fix that?)
Would have been great to have all the water reflection of the birds in there. Nice pics.
