Light and Dark ...

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.

Like the last one, I think this works well.

The second could do with less angle in my eyes, perhaps all of the tower originating from the bottom of the frame, but still angled.

I also like the first, although same comments about the amount of angle. The lighting really works well. The brickwork is nice and warm..

That last one is great Dave, and the other two have a very eery feeling to them.

The last one is very good and one thing that makes it better is the life preserver floating between the pylons.

Thanks All,

I'm quite happy with the last one,

I'll have a look through the other photo's I took of the church, part of the reason for the angle was to avoid the street lights ...

I think I might have to tweek the colouring as well, they look a bit to yellow on my uncalabrated work monitor!

The last photo with the water appearing so smooth it almost appears that the wharf was just swallowed up and all that is left is the life ring. You have not only taken a brilliant photo but it also tells a story
