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.

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.

These are brilliant.

The clouds in #3 are amazing!

Without asking you to give away all your secrets, how much processing work have you done on them?

Dan, I like ht elast one the best, the depth in the clouds is brilliant, however, my eyes are distracted by the color and detail of the forground, perhaps crop up a little?

Great shots Dan, what kinda glass did you use? Also I`m guessing you had a lengthy shutter time?
Thanks, Trevor

Great capture of the "little" light show.
Your results are wonderfull.

May I ask what your recipe for this kind of photography is ?
Is it open the shutter for a few seconds and hope the best ?

Best regards,
CD
