Sand Pumps, Clouds and lonely trees

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.

Hey Ya'all, great to see some more activity here

This one is from a recent trip up to our wonderful border between QLD and NSW, where i could choose which timezone to be in depending on my mood and also which telstra tower my phone picked up :) on the bright side there is this awesome jetty used solely to pump sand around :)

Whenever I'm at Duranbah or Snappers, I'm focussed on surfing, not landscapes. Gerry you've absolutely nailed it, like always. The first two are outstanding, the third is out of this world.

We have a valley just a short walk from our home. It is filled with the stuff just about every morning. Quite happy for Gerry to come with his bucket and spade to collect some.

ha, that last one was with the bigstopper from B+W on a day when it was blowing a gale - hence B+W bigstopper is the mist maker :)

always keen to go up there, more so for some less photographed falls, might be up there Sunday week if your keen.

always love this spot at Leura, this one was a one hiding on the harddrive from 2014 waiting to be processed :)
