The same night meet as every one else

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.

Andrew

A great bunch of captures of which the first and last are the best for me. The composition in the last one in particular is a great angle on a very overphotographed location.

Gorgeous shots, some lovely colours in the reflections and as Peter said a refreashing look at well photographed landmark. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comments guys,

I do have to admit the harbour is very over photographed but it's great to have a harbour like this in Sydney so I'm not complaining. :D

Nothings more "over-photographed" on this forum than sunsets and ducks.

And guys who wear hats labelled with "FREAK'.

Great shots Huynhie, and just because something is overphotographed doesn't mean we should stop taking photos of it. (With the exception of freakin' guys in freakin' freak hats!) We have a harbour the envy of many which includes the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge and both look spectacular paticularly at night. IMHO. :)

Well as best as I can recall there is at most three shots of he Forensic Freak here. On reflection I guess that makes him overphotographed after the first one. :wink:

Funilly enough Rich, after shooting with slide film for numerous years and only owning a digital camera for 5 months. I still have not come to terms with the idea of cropping an image. So all the shots that you see are straight out of the camera with postprocessing and no cropping. :D

I thought it was a crop from the one above it because the exposure was soo similar.
