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.

Beautifully lit image shane and muted colours. Composition takes the eyes on a lovely country stroll following the lay of the grassy slope to the trees then the rolling hills and cloud formations in the distance.

Shane, what great colours and wonderful lighting! I think the best photos are the ones that capture the mood of being there, and this one certainly does that. It's a shame the trees on the right have been chopped off at the top though.

Beautiful capture Shane. Well done! I assume this was taken in the golden hour, the last hour or so of sunlight for the day? Very peaceful and relaxing to observe! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful lighting nicely captured, looks like someone before you had the right idea though, judging by the wheel marks :lol:

Love the colours of this shot Shane! Well spotted and captured. The colours of the clouds in the background certainly bring out the orange and earthy hues highlighted in the trees.

Did you have to do much sharpening? Or did you do any sharpening at all?

I tend to shoot in RAW so yes it has some USM applied. I quite often applied to much, I have trouble judging the correct amount.

Thank for looking and your comments
