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.

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.

Good use of the vertical format and great colours Big Red.

Wondering if you may have got a bit more impact by going down to the ground level and focusing on the series of jetties jutting out along the river bank. The image doesn't seem to have one point of focus - a bit busy perhaps?

like this.

normally I am not a fan of large areas of dark like at lower right, but in this case you can see something in it and it fades to light so I think it works well.

I can also see a pano crop of this which would work also,
cropping out some of that sky and some dark at the bottom.
I like it as is though.

Well done.

Very nice.

It would even work with much of the sky cropped out too.

Love the colours, and the water texture (or lack of texture). Agree I would try a pano crop as well as this one. It's just a gorgeous time of day :)

Just what do you think you're doing Dave?
