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.

Hey all, I am new here and am just expanding into photography. Here is a recent shot of Mt. Rainier in Washington State.

Would like to hear any thoughts.

D70, 1/60 at f5.6. AF-S 24-120mm VR @ 120mm

Picture was taken as the sun was rising on a morning after we had had wild weather with everything from sun to hail.

Wayne,

Welcome Welcome, another pacific NorthWester! Looking forward to seeing more pics.
Recently with the amazing weather I have a sight of Baker and Rainier. Perhaps a little too far for pics (still some haze) but you've done well here Compositionally. I actually flew over Rainier in a tiny plane once. Did you do any post processing on this pic?

Great image!

Having said that i don't think I've ever seen a bad image of Rainer or Baker for that matter!
Respect to those who click!

I did do a little PP in PS CS. Played with the contrast a little to make the foreground silloette (sp?) increase the contrast some and draw the colors out a little and USM.

Unfortunately the original was taken as a jpg in the camera instead of RAW and when it came out it wasn't really well representing the true scene.

My adjustments in PS have brought it closer to as it actually looked. now I will ALWAYS confirm I am shooting RAW.

Welcome Wayne.

It is a really nice shot, but don't worry so much about the jpeg scenarios.

Yes, shoot in RAW as a permanent solution, but jpeg's can be brought to attention with proggies like Raw Magick. :)

Hi Wayne and welcome to the forums. You're certainly not new to photography - that shot is stunning! I love the grain, it gives it the old skool slide look IMO.

I agree, the shot is excellent and has that 1950's National Geographic feel/style to it. The lighting and colours are perfect.
