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.

Hi all
It has been a while since I have posted any pictures, it has been a while since I have had anything worth posting. 
Here are a couple of hills from arounnd my local area. The first one is a Pano of Mt Korong near Inglewood Victoria. I took a much larger Pano but this piece is what caught my eye, the lighting is a little harsh as it was close to midday and there were no clouds around.
The second is a photo of Mt Hope near Pyramid Hill Victoria, the area around the hill is fairly flat so I thought the cattle yards and fence would add some interest.
All comments welcome.
Thanks Paul D

Hi Paul....
I'd suggest a circular polarizer with both of these shots and a tad more contrast. With deep blue skys the shots would look great!
For a little bit of PP curiosity.... try using a velvia filter also... you might like the deeper colours.
cheers

I agree with xerubus about using a polariser for these types of shots, I think it would cut out a lot of the glare that seems to dampen the colours in the the top shot.
I like the scene in the second shot, the colours are nice and warm. Photo gallery online <a href="http://photoden.net/oliver">here</a> and some more on deviantArt <a href="http://oliau.deviantart.com">here</a>.

Thanks for your comments xerubus and oli
I don't actually own a circular polariser as yet, looks like I should get hold of one.

A must have for landscapes. 
I recommend the B+W branded ones. I haven't used any others but another forum user I know had a Hoya one which fell apart (literally)... Photo gallery online <a href="http://photoden.net/oliver">here</a> and some more on deviantArt <a href="http://oliau.deviantart.com">here</a>.
