A Longing For The Old Days

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.

Whenever you put "Please view large" on your photo's I stand up...puff my chest out as far as I can, and stand on the tips of my toes. I must admit...it does kinda make your pics look better. But if I had to do it for more than about 20 images I would get pretty tired pretty quick.

MAtt K: Rather than just being awkward, the reason I do it is that flickr by default saves my pictures at the original size and then next at 500 pixels and then 200 pixels. I've been asked not to post at 1155 pixels like I used to, but i don't like leaving my pics at 500px!!

Hi tarotastic,

Can you share more shots of VN. I'm interested in visiting the motherland for the first time sometime next year. :D Thanks

Thanks everyone for your comments!!

Nito: Vietnam is SO photorich. Their are just opportunities everywhere!! Beautiful country with such a wide range of scenery. Great food too, although the food I had in Cabramatta yesterday was some of the best Vietnamese I've ever had!! It might be because Ozzie beef is so damn good!! Mmmmm, I love that beef pho!!

PALL: Halong Bay is in the far north of Vietnam, perhaps 3 hours east of Hanoi. China has similar 'limestone karst' scenery in Guilin. Not sure if it's that close though!!

tarotastic, my wife wants to go to VN and she is not vietnamese. She really loves beef pho and can order in vietnamese most of the more common dishes.

Its been 24 years since I set foot in the motherland. My parents havd been back 3 tiimes. My wife and I are looking forward to seeing it. But I heard the poverty is the sadest reality there.
