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.

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.

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a walking tour on the Heysen Trail in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. This was a supported trip so during the day, we only had to carry food, water and camera gear. We were also accompanied by a professional photograher.
This trip would be best described as a walking holiday with some photography. We would walk on average about 15km per day, each day. This meant some early starts and it gets cold over there  We slept in swags every night with an amazing Milky Way. Some nights I just went to sleep with my glasses on 
We would normally have camp next to a dry creek bed. Those creeks had some beautiful gum trees along them. Here are some close to sunset.
Typical road we travelled on and that's our troopie 
Lots of ruins along the way. This is the old homestead of Kanyaka. Basically, there wasn't enough water to have agriculture so a lot of these towns or stations would fail.
At the end of the trip, it's always nice to finish with one of the local ales
. This one is the Fargher Lager in Parachilna.
I'll post some more as I get them processed.
C&C much appreciated.

Wayne,
those gum trees around sunset tended to be just beautiful. I've got various combinations over the days that I was there, just have to decide which one I like most.
Rob, it is a get place to walk. As you say, Parachilna to Wilpena Pound is very special. You have done well to have done the 600kms, we only did about 85kms over the week.
Cheers,
André

Hey Radar
What a magical place the Flinders Ranges are. We spent a couple of weeks around that area travelling up through to the Gammon Ranges and Arkaroola. Your photos bring back some memories that will stay with me for a very long time. I'm sure we will return sooner rather than later. After Cape York next year will start planning a loop from here through Flinders to Dalhousie Springs and back across the Simpson.

Totally agree Ben, great spot. The top one is actually in the Gammon Ranges at Weetootla Gorge.
Sounds you have the travel bug but I'm sure you have been diagnosed already

Like the others #1 appeals to me, but I think that 4th image is a cracker too. It screams cold beer after a dry hot day to me.
