Glass bricks and wood thingy

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.

#2 is a corker Matt, great stuff! #1 is also great, and I suspect most people will love it, but maybe there needs to be less distortion in order to take advantage of the symmetry?

Matt - after lengthy discussions on the virtue of brick walls as photographic items of interest I feel that the substitution of glass does not hide the fact that it is a brick wall :lol:

The second shot is fascinating - where is this graphic located :?:

#2 is great. The colour is almost animation-like. I would also be interested on where this is located.

Matt

I like both of these and think they are quite strong and different takes on the subject matter. The second shot in particular makes fantastic use of colour. I've taken a few shots of that piece of Luna Park (answer for you Chris :wink: ), but never been happy with what I got. Now I've seen your take I've a lot to aim for next time.

First one would be excellent if it didn't have those black shelves (I think that's what they are) on it.

Hi Matt,

great shots, especially No 2 :D
Tell us a bit about the "pinball machines" in the left part of No 2
They are trompe d'oeil ?

Cheers,
CD

It is all trompe d'oeil except for the red bench in the foreground. Therein is its charm...and confusion.
