Melbourne by Day

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.

The first is very cool and the second is not bad either.

With the first I think it could be warmed some - it looks a little cool to me.

Yes, I think I like the first and second too.
Were you using filters? I feel the colours
should havebeen more vivid in daylight.

I only used a polariser, the pictures are a bit deceiving as it was overcast most of the time with scattered showers when all the day Yarra ones were taken (kept having to shelter under the bridge) For #2 it had been raining only 2 minutes before (we were sheltering under the bridge on which it was taken on) BTW Melbourne corrected :)

Which part of "it was raining in Melbourne" do you think is a bit deceiving?

Chaase, I hope I am not offending you with this but just using
the Auto tone in CS5 has improved the colours of your
image giving them a bit of vibrancy... I am sure you can do
even better with the original photograph.

pLease let me know if you want to remove your picture. :)

No not at all, it's why I have "Edit photos OK" in my sig. It's the best way to learn

Drop down the Image menu to find:
Auto tone
Auto contrast
Auto color

After appliying one of the above, you
can reduce de effect by dropping the
Edit menu and finding the Auto...
whatever effect you last applied.

It is very unsophisticate, but a very
simple way to improve some images.
