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.

Is it just me or are the blacks in the foreground trees a little too black?

Absolutely Onyx but the sensor had a lot to cope with and I exposed for the foreground trees with regard to definition and ignored the black as I felt that it was not too overpowering :wink:

Great pic Chris... A mini-tad soft maybe, but still brings home the atmosphere of that area... I hope to get some good shots from Blackheath on the Jenolan weekend in March...

Actually - your shot reminds me a lot of the Copper Canyon in Mexico... a very little known canyon - even if it is 6 times as large as the Grand Canyon... Highly recommended to all travellers / photographers...
Cheers, John

This picture is surreal. You've done a wonderful job but I bet it's nothing compared to what it was like to sit there and stare at it. I stare at your picture and I'm trying to pretend being there and dissapointed that I'm not, and please take that as my highest compliment. Terrific picture.

Dave - it is a place that is very popular in NSW and the changing light can give you so many definitions of what is a very beautiful place :)

Personally I think it is a very good effort to capture a very difficult subject. Impossible to expose for such a wide range and difficult to get a good really good composition.
