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.

Took this one on Sunday when out for a little walk around the botanic gardens for some pics. Instead of coming home with bunch of flower macros, I just headed this way for the late afternoon and post-sunset shots.

I hardly thought of vertical composition for a landscape here, but it seems to have turned out nicely.

VERY nice Yi-p, the horizon police will be along soon though :)

Oh, as much as I love kids/ppl, I'd clone them out on the left hand side.

Great shot. May even be able to crop the people out and still get a good result. Well done Yi-p.

Great shot, love the colours and the subject. You could do two different crops, one with less forground and all of the sky, the other with less sky and all of the forground. Just a thought.

Horizon? Everyone knows it all downhill when you leave the North Shore. :D

This is what photography should be about - the right time, the right place and most importantly, the photographer - love it.

Thanks everyone, I will straighten it up and clone the kids on the left side of the image when I get home.

I tried my best to tell (politely) all those tourist to give way in front of me, just happen that kids never listen :lol: PS. How much is a bubble level? Where do I get it here?? :)

Ok, following being busted from horizon police so many times, I've got to make the changes...

Horizon fixed, kids cloned out carefully.

How about now? :P
