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.

No offers popping up here either......
Great shots Shane - looks like you guys had a ball. It is the most amazing place to be - and so hard to come back to the 'real world'. I had the most unbelievable time getting used to so much 'stuff' - people, cars, houses, even roads - when I came back from out west.
Looking forward to seeing some more shots guys :)

Had some dodgy pop-ups sneak through in Firefox :S

Nice composition and PJ work there :) Noticed you had a bit of a smudge on the lens as well.

I can see this being used as a stock photo, but maybe try cropping the left out with the shoeprints.

Looks like an amazing trip guys - when are you publishing a book? ;)

Fav out of these ones is http://img208.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imgp6220rk0.jpg - gives a good sense of the sparseness and size of the trip you went on - well done, and keep 'em coming :)

Shane,

Nice series. The lens cap shot - pricless :) I liked the gorge shot where you see it narrow down with the water foreground. Slight sun flare on the top right, rich colours and the leading lines towards the narrowing gorge make this shot a winner.

Thanks for sharing,
Craig
