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.

Very tranquil Darryl, I would like to see it with a little more yellow/red saturation, did you use a tripod? Are the original images in JPEG or raw?
Thanks,
Max

I agree with Ozi
Darken slightly and up the orangy redish glow subtly and you've got a terrific shot...well it's already a terrific shot, it is stunning actually and I like that you really went for it.
All of that being said, if it was my shot and it was shot in Raw I would convert to Black and White, adding a touch of yellow, then frame it and hang it (but that tends to take me a few months).

Terrific, very ambient, very tranquil... Deservers to be printed and framed...
One question, are there soft halo's either side of the poles on the left? Dunno if they're really there or it's just me after a long day in front of the screen here at work...
Very nice shot though, very frame worthy...
Cheers,
Mudder

Mudder, there does seem to be on the left pole. I'll have to check on the original shot. Might have over done it on the USM. I considered converting it to B&W but didn't have any of the iNovaFX actions loaded. Will have to copy them over tonight.

Darryl. Great shot. I really like it as it is. Shots like this have extra appeal for me since there's NO WAY I'd be out of bed that early
