Chaos and Ice

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.

I think that over the last couple of weeks I've taken some of my best photos ever. I absolutely love them. It's been very productive. Let me know what you think, and if you like peruse the top two pages of my stream, I'm quite happy with it.

G'day Dave,
Everything seems to be here in this shot, but for some reason which I have no idea of, it doesn't seem to grab me...

I'm not sure if it's the angle, or what... Had a quick sticky and cropped off a smidge at the top to remove the change from snow to shadow, and then the bottom to just above where the "hump" of snow on the bottom left enters the frame and it seems to "gel" more...

Sorry mate, just not sure on this one, I think it's just me as I really enjoy your images you've been posting... Maybe some of your latest stuff has spoilt me :)

Hi Dooda,

very nice image, but seeing some of your other images in this stream and ones that you have posted here earlier, it not as good :cry: but you set a high bar.

Much better then anything I do, mind you. :D :D

Looked at having a pano crop on it, imho, it looked nicer.

Keep them coming,

radar.

I appreciate the comments. I sort of liked this one because of how much chaos and energy it displays, besides it being a photograph of a distilled moment.

I don't tend to like Pano crops (I do like Panos though). But agree that maybe a touch off the top and maybe the left hand side might help it some.

I actually really like the big cracks on this one. I would like to see more on the top. It looks like a place I would like to explore!

Dave, I really like this shot as is. The one thing that struck me was the inability of my eyes to determine the scale :)

Very unusual here, it does make you stop and look at the image instead of rushing onto the next one.
