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.

Brilliant stuff Barrie. Like them both but, as Steve said, the geometry of the first one makes it a standout.

I would reshoot the second one with with a cleaner background. They are good looking buildings. Very interesting architecture.

Keep posting images like the first one and im going to have to buy one of those lenses!

Nice work.

The lamp post in the dead center is a little annoying i have to say.....not much you can do about that though.

Bloody fantastic Barrie

These are both incredibly dramatic images with the clouds and all those lovely sharp angles.

#1 is really good with the bench in the foreground to lead the eye to the buildings. :)

Both are excellent pix, and in my view, #1 is oustanding.

Spot-on exposure, great composition, terrific colours. Well done. :)

I really like the perspective and the balance between the foreground subject and the background in the first image, great color too...

In the second image, I keep trying to look over the bottom of my monitor :lol:

No.1 is great. How did you manage not to capture anyone there? Was it that early / dead or did you clone them out?

Barrie,

Seeing these and other shots recently (including Slider's POTW this week), I'm not far off :D. Just a matter of sorting out a few finances.

Great photos and so crisp and clear.

Cheers
