Simplicity

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.

A great series Big V. Love the elegant composition and in particular the last image - the spray of light leading the eye across the diagonal to the open doorway, the nfloorboards the nostalgic feel. It's got the lot :wink: Gorgeous fine art Bigv. That's most certainly one to be framed :) If I may be so bold as to suggest just the barest of extra shadow detail to the left of the door and I mean barest :) Conversely, just a little more of the open doorway.
cheers

Nice work...I like the colours and texture and can almost smell the shed.

Fantastic set these although #3 lacks the punch of the others. Why - well it's a little softer for a start and the placement of the nail draws the eye too strongly yet isn't compelling enough to engage me as a viewer as much as the strong shadows and diagonals in #1 do.

I like all of them. However, I prefer the last one and I suspect it would be more dramatic as a larger image. Well done!
