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.

Obviously New Zealand is a popular place at present.

Here are four landscapes from the area we visited last week.

Brings back some memories. :cheers:

The blues are a really nice hue over there. Is this near Wanaka? Did you manage to get out to the Milford sounds?

Spot on Suren - around Wanaka/Queenstown.

Tried to fly across to Milford Sound but the weather didn't allow it.

I'll have to go again!

Trevor, This is where the magic is. Try and get there (even by land is ok :wink: ) when you are next in the vicinity. Take an umbrella and a rain cover though. It will invariably rain.

Great shots, you have got great colours in them.

It is popular I still have a couple of hundred shots to process from my trip in September. Missed Milford Sound as well because of snow closing the road for a few days. Will go there next time.

That pano is nioce, do you have much resolution on it? or was it a single shot cropped? These kinda shots look better when viewed big! Nice one.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I reckon it could do with a boat, bird or something to lock in the scale. Still, if printed large, it would easily hold it's own.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

The pano is one shot, cropped. I travelled without a tripod anyway, but this shot looked better cropped this way.
