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.

The new crop is much better, and the 2nd pic is nice just a shame the butterfly isn't in focus a little more.

they are indeed lotus flowers


lo·tus also lo·tos (l?'t?s)
n.
An aquatic plant (Nelumbo nucifera) native to southern Asia and Australia, having large leaves, fragrant, pinkish flowers, a broad, rounded, perforated seedpod, and fleshy rhizomes.
The edible seed, leaf, or rhizome of this plant.
Any of several similar or related plants, such as the water lilies Nymphaea caerula or N. lotus.

I like the crop of the shot I was going to ask were they were but HK is a bit far to go to get some photos :(

Nice work anyway cheers doug
Way to much photography gear is never enough!

beautiful - almost ethereal !!!
Lighting is gorgeous ... if you didn't want to crop the first shot, you could just clone the ciggy out?
Well done'

Really very nice images.


I think I'd like the first image as was with the cigy cloned out.

Positively ELECTRIC!
I would have cloned or healed the cig. butt out and taken the top edge off down to just under the top of the upper left leaf. i prefer the longer crop with the stalks myself.
SUPER YUMMY!! :D :D
