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.

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.

Some great solid colour in the sky at sunset

No PP, straight from the D200 (only resized and cropped slightly at the bottom)

I meant to mention the 2 UFO's floating in the sky just left of the taller smoke stacks.

I would have cloned them out.

I thought they might of been planes or birds.... but your right they could be UFO's or UFR (unidentified flying rabbits).

Beautiful shot Barrie. Whatever the two dots are, they do look like UFOs.

I left them in (two birds), they look great on the full size image, a 100% crop shows good detail in the birds)

Any chance of a 100 crop of the birds then, if your gloating about it, I'd like to see it Barrie :) :lol:

Indeed I do, at this point for most stuff its very good (fine JPG, highest quality).

I don't subscribe to the whole RAW v JPG debate, in my experience an extremely high quality JPG can be manipulated as much a RAW file (including WB and highlight/shadow recovery etc) - especially in PS if you save the JPG as a TIFF or PSD for working on.

With sunset shots like this, JPG is perfect, because the colour is there and all I want to do afterwards is crop slightly

I'm not gloating :-), I was just saying they were easily identifiable as birds if you looked at the full size image (on screen or printed A3) :)

I don't believe in that debate either Barrie. We all should choose what suits us. For me I'm so lousy at nailing the expsoure I shoot raw to give me the latitude to fix it in PP :wink:

Whether you use RAW or JPG a shitty image is still a shitty image :)

I only used the word gloating to indicate my envy of having you now having the extra megapixels in your pocket. So don't take the comment too serious ;-) (Hence the dual smilies).

Wow :!: Straight out of the camera.
I have to admit that I scratched my monitor to try and remove the birds though
