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.

My uncle had a baby boy on March 28th. Which also happened to be my 28th birthday. Now I have someone to celebrate my birthday with.

Shot with one strobe with softbox. Velvet black background. I had my uncle wear a black long sleeve shirt. I used my 85mm 1.8.

For some reason I also like this pic. It's of my nephew who is 6 months old. He's got a very cute round head.

All babies are amazing Neeps, the first one looks as though there is no arm attached to the hand! (No 'arm done). What an experience to photograph a newborn infant. BTW, I'm hoping to get over the border into Canada in June. We will be in Flint, Michigan for a wedding and I'm told it's not too far from the Canadian border, maybe 2-3 hours drive. I'm not sure which part of Canada is near Flint but we'll look into it.

Cheers,

The second shot and the feet, are particularly good. Very touching.

Print that feet phot up big.

Really big.

I mean really, really big.

Frame it, and give it to you uncle. He will be very proud.

Do the same with the colour shot of uncle and bub. That is beautiful, and the family will love you even more for that.

Where is mum, btw? You should do similar images with her. After all, I'm sure she had at least a small part in the making of this wonderful new life.

Great stuff Johnny.
I agree about the feet shot, like Gary say, get it big mate and frame it. I plan to do something like that when my best friends baby is born in a couple of weeks.

Nice work
