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 Darb,

for me #2 works better composition wise then #1

#1 while centred seems too tight (you cropping off bits of the tree)

#2 while still cropping gives the eye some negative space to roam on the right which I find helps the shot, although maybe a crop or clone of the little bit of tree on the far right could further improve the shot.

Darb has more fun than all of us put together - and he can make his camera talk. #2 for me also.

Definately #2 for me... Being a picky sod, I'd clone out the bits of the tree intruding into the left hand side of the frame to make it a lone tree, it has great misty, foggy atmosphere...

You must be having a ball mate!

hey guys thaks for the comments n tips

the more pinkish of the two was a little exxagerated white balance ... but the lesser "coloured" one is almost true to the eye at the time ... the whole mountain is lit up at night for skiing (largest night lit skiing area in the world) ... and i guess more of the red spectrum gets through the fog / cloud / snow thats around in the air.

Might take a few more of the tree and think more carefully about composition ... granted i took those shots when it was -20c (-35 windchill, VERY friggin cold !! ) ... and snowing, so i pretty much took the shots quickly and went back inside.

cold temps seem good for CCD noise midn you ... its just the fingers that start to give in !
