Haven't done much photography lately. Been stuck in a rut

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.

 LOL!

Doesn't look that deep a rut to be stuck in. It's what... 5cm high max, with gently sloping sides? You should be able to get out of this one, no problem, using your camera (and its strap).

Maybe a little flash would help fill your life and leave you feeling brighter?

Interesting perspective. Looks like that dog is about 20ft tall. The Hound of the Baskervilles?

I already work as a flasher. I was going to chuck it in as I'm a bit sick of it but I need the money, so I decided I'll have to stick it out for another year.

I think your focus is a bit off. You need to get a bit more depth in your life. Frame your ideas, and you will again capture your picture of where you're at ;)

Great feel to this shot.

As I slowly looked at the image (dial up) I really liked what I saw and then it got a bit blurry. My humble suggestion, because it is such a clear shot, would be to crop the bottom 1/3 out (maybe even a tadd more). It would look like a pano and be as clear as a bell.

Good on ya.
