5th installment from NZ - Boiling Mud and Natural Colour

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.

That first one looks like Robyn's mushroom soup.

Seriously, don't fall into any hot mud pools - won't do you much good! :D

Don't listen to him Leon, he's just shitty. :lol:

The last two are my favourites, I like the composition in both, the colours are very nice in both those shots aswell. Do you know how hot the mud is at the surface ?

hehe - if you'd have smelt some of the air coming from Luke's direction over the last week you'd think this was his creation! Never, ever, complain that Rotorua stinks if you haven't been stuck in a car with Lucas for a long time!!! :oops: Rotorua is sweet compared to him!

I'm up to over 3,000 shots now - although many of these have been bracketed. I'm hoping some of these are good ;)

I know - was hit by one of these things when I was tiny (about 4 I think - hard to imagine me that small). It's a memory that has not dissipated.

Leon

#1 is great, but #3 (left hand side) is the best of these. Nice colour range and an interesting composition. Guess we can look forward to a few hundred posts of NZ pics over the next month :wink:
