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.

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.

Steel Fish and one of my Favourite Restaurant

Postby marcotrov on Sun Apr 23, 2006 10:44 pm

Friday afternoon we went to the Esplanade in Cairns. One of my favourite Friday afternoon walks the Esplanade pool area. Overcast so not too many people around, great. My attempt at arty farty :)
The second is a candid of the bar staff at one of my fav restaurants with one of my most loved lenses 35-70F/2.8.
Critique welcome on the images and treatment.

Thanks for the feedback Big Red and Steve. I was a little lucky with timing the shot without the throng of tourists that normally frequent the place. Regarding the second one timing sucked :( as a fraction of a second the two bar workers were talking and having a chin wag with character but I missed the opportunity but I still liked the scene. :)
cheers

Marco like the others I love No1, very nice capture. :D

I also liked the Esplanade the way it was pre Kevin Burns :wink:

Thank you Rel(I love #1 too), John (It is an attractive spectacle now but pre Kevin Byrne was definitely more nartural and soothing environment :wink: ), Nito (I just wished I could have caught the two bar staff having their lighthearted exchange only seconds before but by the time I got the camera up they were back hard at it- I just love the sharpness, colour rendition and feel of the 35-70 f/2.8. It's got to be one of my favourite lenses) and Manta (I'm considering doing a print of that first one :) )
Thanks to all for their comments
cheers
