Thanks for the feedback. It's always good to know you others think a photo can be improved. It was an amazing sunset and I spent an hour there watching things evolve. at this point the colours of the sky were starting to darken and causing the city lights to over expose.

I try to avoid manipulation however I did create a 3 exposure shot about about 15 minutes earlier which did get over the point you have suggested. I really like the colours reflecting in the water on this one (the turquoise in particlar) but I may try and pull up the highlights to see what I can acheive

 

Thanks

Waitemata harbour from Devonport in Auckland whilst in New Zealand. A

30 second exposure. I hope you don't mind this being in the travel

section. I believe it fit best here. Any thoughts appreciated

Thank you for the critique. Overall I am pleased with the shot but the one thing that really niggles is that everytime I look at the photo I see a square in the centre of the frame formed by the coastline on the right-hand side, the cuillin coastline and the large rock on the left. Does anyone else notice this?

This is a very powerful image. The clouds look seriously manacing. Beautifully executed. Although I would have loved to have been there to see this I feel sorry for the poor folk in the boats!

Beautiful light Dariusz. Love the diffused colours and how the coastline sweeps round to the rock in the foreground

Any critique welcome

You've handled the light really beautifully here and even more impressive - managed to avoid any significant flaring. Compositionally the sun balanced the foreground on the right nicely.

This is outstanding! I particularly like the long shadows in that spectacular red light on the foreground snow as well as the rich red of the river. There isn't a lot going on in the top third of the image and I wonder whether cropping down about half of it would help keep the eye on the real drama

Beautifully balanced Mark. This is a seriously relaxing scene

Stunning light Glen. I really do like how you are drawn into the scene. The details on the rock in the bottom left corner are also top notch

The lighting is truly wonderful on the mountains and the whole scene is beautifully exposed and sharp fron to back. My only gripe, and it is a small one, is that the exposed tree roots overlap the reflection of the trees on the right making it difficult to make out outlines. Overall a superb piece of work though

Taken at 3am and at -8C under a near full moon during the 2010 cold

snap in Scotland. The loch was completely frozen which is unusal for

this part of the country.

The lighting is unusual given that this was long past sunset. The only

explanantion I could come up with was that it represented the city

glow from Glasgow city 50 miles North

Forgetting locations is annoying. I've had the same problem, thankfully it's easier to remember the good ones!

Fantastic shot. Love the simplicity you have created and the tones of green are superb

The reason I like this so much is that it really draws me into the shot as if I was there. I would like to know where you took it though!

I had difficulty trying to decide where to put this shot. The figure

possibly makes it ineligible for landscape so it has ended up here (in

travel) - so apologies if you don't agree.

The photo was taken on the Te Paki sand dunes in far north in New

Zealand's North Island. You may think it would be swelteringly hot

here, but rainfall is frequent.

Thanks for the feedback. I hoped that I'd gotten away with the tight crop. The original is much wider although with dense uninteresting grey cloud covering much of the rest sky I couldn't see any benefit in keeping it in.

I was back at the same location 6 months later and it was a total washout!

Beautiful - you have brought a lot of really nice elements together in this one

A photograph I took last year whilst travelling the South Island of

New Zealand. Any critique is welcome. Kenny

Beautiful moody shot. The wideangle works brilliantly here, and exposed perfectly

Taken in Jotunheimen National Park, summer 2009. Looking into one of

Norway's most remote areas.

Beautifully captured - absolutely stunning work

I thought it was a (lost) polar bear from the thumbnail. Either way - I love this, and obviously the chance of you coming out alive is much greater!

The colour tones are gorgeous. Really beautifully captured. Avoiding the out of focus flowers in the foreground may have worked better - but on the other hand it gives a strong feeling of depth and involvement
