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.

New blood is welcome. I'll bow out if more people want to sign up since I have been in two of these things recently.

Dave: The image is interesting. The three chimneys stick out in the dark sky. Still, the photo looks chopped off from the bottom. Maybe you could have taken the image vertically, with the three chimneys being the main objects.

shiro_kuro: The interaction between the people shows. This is a very good image. Note that if you had slightly included more from the right and less from the left, this image would be stronger.
Gabriel doesn't like suggestions for photos, but I feel this is important.

John: You caught the moment. I like the image. The background is a little distracting though. If you could have [and that's easier said than done] made the jumping person more the focus point, the image would be stronger.
This is just my opinion.

Gabriel: The image is good. Is this the Rhein river? The lawn in the front is a little too large for the image. What I mean is that the focus point is the river and the people, and the green is too overwhelming for me. I hope that I did not catch you on a bad day!

I like the surreal look to this image .. it really captures my imagination . It looks to be a still from a movie yet tell a story on its own . I also really enjoy the fact that it was taken with an xpan. The composition is strong but I feel the there is to much space on the left and think that the image might be stronger if the first stack started out closer to that edge of the image ....AusDLK said:

Nice capture ... I like that you caught her making the jump but I think it would make a much better photo if you also captured all her reflection . I don't really like the background . I f you got a bit lower you would of captured the reflection and the person in the background watching and avoiding the building ,cars ect. which I feel are distracting. This shot would also be interesting with less dof or more but the slight blur takes away from this image ..I think this shot is well seen and has alot of possibilities .flashover said:

I really like the colors and the boke ... the fact that it is a reminder that summer is gone makes this image interesting to me because it brings up feelings of time passing . I like the fact that this is not a cliche fall shot ........ It is hard to critique this type of shot .... or any photograph lol.... it wil be interesting to see what the others have to say ..........raid amin said:
