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.

Moon rise

Took this shot last night overlooking Mutton Bird Island with the full moon rising. It actually wasn't this yellow, but a simple levels adjustment gives it a cheesy colouring.

Of course :!:
The date for Easter is set by the moon. Specifically, it is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (remember this is a Northern Hemisphere thing!) Thus the moon will always be just a bit after full on Easter Sunday.

Next year will be the earliest date for Easter in centuries.

Dan, was just a simple levels adjustment, sliding the black all the way to the right and voila!

How come there is a halo (artifacts from PP'ing) around the moon (that usually means that it's been either over sharpened - noise reduction software has been used or that it's been placed there from a different shot - not saying it has mind you).

You have definitely done something to it.....its visible?

Alright Dan, you've now got me thinking, I'm almost positive I didn't sharpen it, but I could be wrong. (I'm wrong fairly regularly :D)

I have tried for the last 10 minutes to replicate the effect but can't quite remember how I did it...I'll keep trying and report back.

I've remembered how I did it - select using magic wand tool (+ "grow" a few times), inverse selction, then adjust levels, sliding black button to "180", darkening only the moon and the hill but not the sky. There most probably will be better ways to do it but that's what came to mind at the time.

Although there is no specfic "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon, my line was a gag! :lol:

But thanks for the astrological update. :shock: :wink: :o (oops, there I go again. Of course, it should be astronomical. :D )
