Ignore It (It'll go away)
Welcome to this critique thread. Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines/ground rules regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this thread is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
Guidelines/Ground Rules
The thread has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in this thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants.
• Please, only join this thread if you are able post an image within 24 hours of joining.
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image(s)
• Please abide by any thematic requirement (e.g., landscape, portrait, etc.)
•The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photos should be standard screen resolution (72~90) and the longest side of the image approximately 10 inches in length.
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.

Roland: This is an excellent idea; we can compare a vertical to a horizontal image and see which is stronger.

Raid -- Zion
Raid -- Zion
Raid -- Very nice, the brown textures look like wood grains. I like the high contrast, but the lower third is a little bit soft, and although it looks like a natural valley curve, the edges remind me of vignetting. I also wonder what is above the top of the frame.
Rncamero -- tree 00 nice texture of the tree and the texture of the dirt/soil of the tree. The tree could be sharper I think, and the background a tad more OOF.
Roland -- myst path, very cool, I definitely like the horizontal one better. The vertical one would be nice if you had like a small area between rooms and only a vertical would fit. Is this an unedited photo, or PS'd? Looks like it could be used for Myst or some kind of computer game box.
Nikco -- interesting. The overexposed lights remind me of Stephanie's landcape, but the houses and streets, and black houses look cool. Very interesting with the large amount of black at the top (edge of town). Cool!

rncamero: The tree trunk is centered in the photo and the background is too clear. I would have used a larger aperture setting to draw the viewer's eyes to the tree. Maybe shooting vertically would make the tree trunk the main focus point without so much background seen.

ampguy: The barn/house is not the only point of focus here. There is an area on the left and on the right and also the foreground (grass) is leaving me without a real focus point. Maybe ... shooting vertically, with more shown of the grass and leaving out the other houses would make this image stronger.
