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.

2 x 10 second shots

The third of my 10 second shots that I passed over for the comp appears below (my other two are here). I've held back on posting since it was so like the one Mikhail (hlop) had entered (both shots were taken the same night)

D'Albora marina at night - Nelson Bay

And this one is an alternate take from a different day of the one I entered. Immediately after the comp closed I decided (too late) that I preferred this one :cry:

I think they are both excellent as well. The first one has awesome reflections.

Gentlemen

Thanks for the comments. These pics are a real conundrum for me. #1 because the boats are a little blurry (it was 10 seconds after all and boats rock up & down) and #2 because I'd have liked to have had the water darker, yet both have really strong appeal.

Simon - I agree this is the better pic

Hi Peter!

I've got very similar framing of night marina but it was 30 seconds exposure, so, I used vertical frame (10 seconds) in competition :)

Figured you would Mikhail. That's why I erred on the side of caution and left this one out.
