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.

First shot was before sunrise. I think the perspective coulsd have been altered to not make the left side of the boat ramp not so eye catching 
The last three were taken just after sunrise as I stood hunched over my tripod facing west focussing on some blooms in the soft morning light when I stood to stretch a little and turned toward the east and this is what i saw.
A frantic dash to change my lens to a longer 80-200 Nikkor and get three shots away (damn you miss a second body!). Three shots of the best of the light as the sun, having risen behind a brewing storm, finally streamed through the thick blanket that shrouded it. The good light lasted only minutes. Tried a couple of different crops and pano style.
I welcome, as always any comments. I'm sorry for the sizing problem I just can't seem to size them so that they view well on flickr. Any suggestions on what I do? I try to keep the largest side at 1200pixels. Either way the images look so tiny compared to my screen once I have sized them for uploading. Usually there about 1200x800 and at 150dpi. 
cheers

Lovely stuff Marco, it may have taken some desperate lens changing but you've captured the moment!

Marco I'm as jealous as all get out. One of my photographic holy grails is to get a shot with the fingers of the sun poking their way from the sky to the earth like you've captured in this fine set of images. What with this and the liberties being taken with my L.D.S. photo elsewhere I'm not having a good day

Craig I can't wait for my D200 to arrive it will make these moments a lot less stressful  Peter I think it's almost definitely being in the right place at the right time, remebering to get your head up and look around occasionally and getting lucky
Thanks for the comments gentleman and have a great day 
cheers

I really enjoyed these...
The first is strangely addictive, the long exposure has worked well for the water lapping the ramp and the exposure of the pier and lights seems nicely balanced, works well...
The rays in the are magical, these are the sky's moments you always try to catch but usually miss, good stuff... The pano's my pick
Cracks me up about the quick change of lens though, it's always a bugger when you notice something out of the corner of your eye and need a different focal length 
Oh, dunno if it makes any difference or not, but would re-sizing with 72ppi make any diff? Aka Andrew

Thanks for the comments Andrew. I never thought of sizing at 72dpi. There shouldn't be any quality loss with screen resolutions being what they are.Hmm!
