Lines in the sand

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.

Lines in the sand

Postby sheepie on Sun Jul 30, 2006 7:49 pm

OK - this is my last thread from Stockton (I think!)...

Thought these were worth a look, and follow the same theme - so made sense to put on their own ;)

Remember - some of these were around sunset, so the colour of the sand really was changing :)

Black and White - the sand didn't change colour this much ;)

Any comments / suggestions on treatment most welcome :)

The colours and the composition of the second one really stands out.

The B/W doesn't do anything for me at all.
All I know, is that I don't know enough.....

As I said to you when I first saw this, #2 is a superbly crafted shot.

#2 - Wow!
The composition is beautifully matched by the richness of the colour.
Love it.

Leon - I have to follow the others in proclaiming #2 a standout shot. Why? Because it is not just sand, it has a marvellous flow that the eye can follow.

Great use of leading lines and curves Leon. The first is my favourite image of the bunch. It's more natural and shows that nature is capable of creating and displaying such gorgeous and exquisite forms.

Pity the bloody 4WD drivers had to destroy the beautiful natural art of the beach.
