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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Who can walk past the wonders of the natural world and a colourful plant is always a suck in. A couple here that I found whilst wandering around the local botanical gardens. All natural light.
The Bromeliad was deep in a shadehouse and I was fascinated by the mercurial highlights in the centre as well as the tiny bloom there.
These tiny drops of rain were nestling on top of the moss and I really had to get my knees wet to handhold this one okay. The highlights are blown, I guess due to the sun reflecting in the water and being magnified by the shape.
On the way to the car, I came across this example of nature taking its time and moving right along. An old stump almost completely covered by this huge fig and even over the fence post too.
All help & comments welcome please?

I was thinking exactly that.
Whatever - the contrast between the colours of the smaller plants and leaves and the monochromatic hue of the tree trunk makes for a spectacular image.
I like it a lot.

Actually, I didn't desaturate anything. It was a grey tree on a grey stump wrapped around a grey fencepost!  What I did on the tree shot was darken the levels selectively around the edges as it was a grey day too and the light was flat and glarey..
Thanks for the comments on the others too folks. When I get the chance, I do like to get down and get close.

Very nice, bigger versions would defiantly have some presence. Last one would be good for a poster print.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"
