Photos from China

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.

Gday,

Here are a couple of photos from my recent trip to China.
Well worth a visit, if ever you get the chance.

Ben excellent shots on your web page. Takes me back. I spent some time in China in 1988, had boxes of photos but only have a few left after a storm damaged my parents house a frew years ago. Always intended to go back, you have just given me the push I need to do something about it
Thanks
Doug

Hey Ben your website is extremly impressive. How many of your shots are polarised? This is an exceptional collection of images.
Jethro

Jethro,

Thanks for the positive feedback. None of my images are polarised, in fact I dont even have one. I just add some contrast to my images in Photoshop, and that's it.

Cheers
Ben

There are some fantastic shots in your web gallery ozbenny. I especially like your capture of the lone violinist in B&W, especially the use of the columns as framing and the player herself.
