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.

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.

Nice sharp images Rookie.

The first is not really an image of house on stilts, it is an image of a flower :wink:

The second is really good but the post on the RH side in the foreground is a little distracting, but the kids bring this image to life. :D

I think that the third is probably my favourite. :D

Really cute shot of the kids - but #3 is my favourite. Stunning colours in the sky, nicely exposed, and interesting silhouettes in the foreground. Well done.
Cheers,

thanks for comments and feedback.:)

#1 I can see how it doesnt really fit in without a few supporting shots of the stilt houses set amongst rather squalid conditions.

#2 happened really quickly as I walked past the boardwalk leading to the kids homes - had to just snap and go - didnt wan t linger and upset the parents.

#3 taken near the fishermans wharf in KK - great thunderstorms each night and I just happened to be there at right time.

I'll work on some other pics in coming week.

cheers R2
