Stop!

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 couple of shots taken while in Melbourne last week end.

I think the first shot works better than the 2nd, but I am a little undecided.

I think I fluked this last one, I don't normally manage to get any panning shots. :roll:

Dave - I agree that the first image has more power (and is better) than the first one...the simplicity of the shot combined with the contrast in colours is great!

Nice work on the 3rd one, but in this series the 1st stands out for me :)

Dave,

I'm wondering if a degree or two of straightening might help the first two.

The third one is quite obviously Brisbane though. :)

Thanks Geoff, and I agree about the third shot, I was just happy to get it!

Thanks Gary I had thought about that, I might attempt to straighten it later, it is a shame I wasn't paying more attention when I took the shot!

You're kidding, aren't you Gary? That vehicle's way too advanced for us!

Looks like a capture from an Amish red light camera; the driver seems to be of the opinion that if he can't see the red light, it can't see him!

(Yes... some will recognise the quote...daft as a brush but very ravenous...)

Thanks,

I think it was taken just off La Trobe St, near RMIT.
