Floriade Floral Art

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.

These are a few early shots off my PP assembly line :lol: of images I took while in Canberra for Floriade last weekend. These have all had PSCS art treatments and so are a little different - some will like, some will not. In all cases they look best at full size , so click the image to see them large

Gorgeous Peter, a full collection would make a great calendar or diary.

I don't mind the treatment, it works for me.

Nathan and Craig - thanks for your comments. I've now printed out that first image A3 and it looks superb. Now all I have to do is get all my other Floriade pics processed :wink:

Is it the D2x has way higher dynamic range in the yellow and red channels or just my imagination?? None of them shows blown highlights, just perfect exposures... 8)

Thanks for the feedback people. Re: the red loner in #3 - it's real, but every single person I've shown the printed copy to the first thing they ask is "did you make that one red in Photoshop" :evil: :evil:
