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.

To be honest Leon niether of them do much for me, perhaps #2 but without seeing it context it feels a bit odd to me.

Leon

#1 doesn't work for me either. It's very busy and the foreground just isn't compelling enough to hold my attention.

#2 is better, but I want to see the bottom.

Hi Leon,

same here, #1 doesn't do anything for me either.

#2 is not bad. Could look good with slower shutter speed, get a bit more of a veil effect, could be worth another visit with a tripod.

cheers,

André

Great time of day, colour and sharpness Leon. There is potentially a good photo in both these subjects but there doesn't seem to be a strong enough focal point and therefore interest for the viewer. I do like the verical theme juxtaposed the shadows but perhaps the right perspective has been missed. Somehow angling so that the background isn't visible, say pointing slightly downward to focus more onn the shadows. Don't know if this helps :?

I would think to have another crack but use the other end of the focal range on the wide zoom. Certainly including more of the mysterious object in #2. :)
cheers
