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.

Awesome colours Pa. Not only the orange of the sky but the deep blue/grey of the clouds. I do find the tree a bit distracting but at the same time, I think if it wasn't there, the shot may be missing something.

You are the Sunset King!

Stunning it is...

I'd say it will be better if the tree doesnt cover that much of a large portion of the frame, the sky is more interesting there :P

Pa, I like the tree in the piccie but IMHO it dominates the shot too much.
How about trying a portrait crop leaving just a little of the tree in and all of the right side of the shot.
Great colours. Well done. Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Allow me to disagree...

Postby zafra52 on Mon Nov 13, 2006 6:45 pm

I prefer the first one. I believe it is a better composition since the silhouettes of the trees in the foreground add drama to the composition and contrasts with the colours of the sky and clouds.

Wonderful, spectacular colour here Pa, and all from Taree! I think the trees, bushes etc add to this image.

I think the 1st in Landscape is better too. You see more of the majesty of the colour.
