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.

A few from a visit to Watson's Bay last weekend. We had fish and chips in the park and walked up to the top of the Gap for the sunset. Nice way to spend an evening.

#3 is the best image here. I think if you clone out the little wisp of cloud (think it is) that looks like a strange dust bunny at the top right directly over the bridge, it would be less distracting and make the image much cleaner.

I agree with Daniel, and maybe square up the horizon.

I like #1, it makes me feel good. Don't ask me why.

The seconds doesn't do it for me, sorry. I guess it is a bit too much cliché?

The last one is my favourite. Very cool juxtaposition of natural vs. man-made skyline. That thing at the top right is probably best cloned out, the eye tends to latch on to it.

Cheers
Steffen.

the third image is wonderful minus the dust speck or whatever that is in the upper right, but still a wonderful image!

Phwoar, #3 is very impressive. So much going on - the skyline, the bridge, the beautiful water, but the image is also balanced and doesn't come across as too busy or crowded.

Well done.

3 is a great image
I would square up the horizon a little though
but more importantly clone out the cloud? thingy above the coathanger as it definitely seems out of place in this image.

Well done.

Thanks for the comments and advice. I actually thought that was a dirty spot on the computer screen :D . Will fix it.

Here is a new version with the horizon straighter and the smudge gone.
