Horse Power to horses!!

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.

JIm,

Watch your horizons: the first and the third are somewhat tilted; look at the lines on the buildings in the background.

And most importantly, be very careful with your post. These have all been sharpened way too much. There are significant artifacts of oversharpening in each of these images ... around the horse's head and mane in the first, around the rider's right shoulder and arm and the horse's rear legs in the second, and just below the horse's body in the third.

Jim,

That's not a problem. :)

Are you working from raw or jpgs?

What tools are you using, and in what modes? Often some processes include sharpening. Certainly, I'm seeing some artifacts that suggest something is happening.

Gary I shoot jpeg fine as i shoot a LOT of images (about 1400 in 6 hrs on this occasion) and I use a laptop on site for display'So i sacrafice the advantage of raw for the convenience of jpeg.Probably out of habit i resize with Elements 4 and normally process with CS4-I will check the settings on Elements 4 but I think only auto levels is applied-
- :cheers: jim ps any clues to why the WB should vary so much--happy to post 2 consecutive images if this helps
