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.

pt4 of my ongoing arabian epic
i pretty much tuned out and i just shot what i saw, so i can't identify any landmarks or give any insights about the history of this place. I found out that the Kentucky fried chicken here is commonly referred to as Kentucky fried camel to the locals, and that the KFC staff stuff up orders real bad if you try to speak arabic.
chep plastic decor at a beachside makeshift cafe
strange beach the sand was replaced by rocks and these huge concrete blocks.
notice the two lying down making the best of the beach, lying on a huge concrete slab can do wonders for your back
One of the many mosques in the area, this is an abandoned market scene as everyone went inside to pray
inside the mosque looks like somethign out of a sci fi movie very alien but quite seductive with amazing geometrical patterns. The main pattern on the wall is the direction of Mecca

#1 an #2 are wonderfully exposed crating a terrific mood with the long shadows accentuating the form.
#5 market scene really establishes a sense of place. I like the splash of colour in the market stalls that add a sense of balance to the weight in the image of the mosque, the play on old versus new.
Nice series Wendell.
cheers

Love the golden colour in 1 & 2, and I agree with marco about the bright market colours in the 5th - they make the shot. Very nice.

The warm color and light in the first couple really grab my eye, expecially in the second, the big grainy sand on the beach cracks me up... LOL
The market scene is spooky, reminds me of the old movie Omega man and really enjoyed the interior shots, the place looks so inspiring... Aka Andrew
