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.

That's an interesting first post. There's so much wrong about this shot yet I really like it. By wrong I mean it's spherically distorted and that car is in several places at once, yet as a whole it all works. Not to mention the blurred people in the joins.

And welcome to the other half of another husband and wife duo on the forum.

What camera did you use?

Edit: And I'd crop the right ever so slightly to remove the object sticking into the sky a little in the top right corner

Interestingly its actually 2 different cars driving through the shot, which causes the crazy ghost affect.

Oh yeah!! It is 2 different cars. I think this shot is awesome. What software do you use to do this? Can it be done in PS?

welcome to the forum. This photo is funky even though you may have intended a perfect stitch the duplicated cars add that conceptual aspect to the scene, nice work!

Craig you must be a happy man work sends you off to exotic locations with your wife and you two have a hobby to share now that's the great Australian Dream.

The software used is Panorama Factory, do a search on the forum and you get lots of examples of it in use, and useful information.

Welcome Katie.

I too think there are a number of things technically wrong with this image, but you've produced a great effect.

Well done. Looking forward to seeing some more of your posts.
