Gold Coast - Above & Beyond

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.

Gold Coast - Above & Beyond

Postby Yi-P on Sat Nov 25, 2006 2:31 am

From the flight on Thurs to Brissy, we were told by the ATC to fly a holding pattern over the coast until we were cleared to descent into approach. So I took this opportunity to grab a few view of the Gold Coast and beyond :)

Great shots Yi-P. One of the few times you don't mind sitting over the wing is when you can use it as a point of reference as you've done so well here.

Third is my favourite.

Yi-P

These are great, but could be better.

Try Cropping the window out, I did one and it makes the shot.

Get as much of the coast in though to the right in the 3rd one.

Have a go, looks much better.

Well done.

Mic :wink:

Yip,

the wing of that plane looks a little dirty. Couldn't you have taken the 30 seconds prior to taking the shot to go out and clean it?

Honestly, people are getting so lazy.
