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.

Lunar New year - Leftovers (D/U Warning)

This is my penultimate posting from the PhotoFest of the Lunar New year celebrations at Phuoc Hue temple last Saturday. These ones don't really fit a single category. For a larger version, click the pic.

Peter 1 and 2 are excellent night shots! Very nice, you really did the temple justice with those shots.

The red packet shot brings back memoriees when I use to get them before my marriage. Technically it is superb with really pleasing bokeh. :D

1 and 2 are brilliant Peter. 2 is my pick here. My favourites so far from the series.

3 I'm afraid doesn;t work for me. I see what you set out to achieve but the results look a little bland for me.

4 is good too. I love the selective focus here. Great DOF.

#1 and #2 for me too Peter. With number 2 edging ahead for its novel perspective and great execution.
cheers

Lovely leftover Peter. Number 1 and 2 are beautifully exposed night shots... #3 while not the greatest, would make a nice heading or opening piece to the (chapter?) in this years Momento book ;-)

Finally #4 possibly just a sentimental favourite, but I really like this one, exposure, colour and DOF all make this one very appealing too me.
(Did you take any more were the two red wrapper like things weren't dead inline ???) :wink:

I like the treatment you've given the first pic. It makes the building look very mystical and glowing :)
