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.

Having been down in the dumps for the last few months, I finally found a new job (yay), but with rubbish money (boo). Can't seem to have my cake and eat it, hey ho.

Anyway, feeling in a happier mood, I thought I should get back to having some fun.
Some friends have donated a huge pile of Sylvanian Family stuff to my daughter, and what should be in there, but a large format camera in the wedding set. Time to combine 3 hobbies* into one avatar!

Well if it revs like a Eunos, smells like a Eunos, and it says "Eunos Roadster" on the back, then it's a Eunos to me!

Also see http://www.padkins.demon.co.uk/eunos which I created years ago when they were first being imported to the UK, along with a lot of Mazda dealer anti-import propaganda.

This is all a bit off-topic though :roll:

BBJ - try Ifranview (http://www.irfanview.com/)for a quick and dirty re-size, and save as a gif - should get you there I hope!

That's exactly the first thing I thought.... I guess Mazda did a bit of marketing & re-badged the mx5 under their "prestige" Eunos label for the UK.
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Thanks Pete, it worked after a bit of stuffing around. :lol:

I can understand that a car can have different names in different countries, but it seems odd that we have both a mazda mx-5 and the eunos here, both completely different to each other but the UK eunos is a re-badged MX-5.
Anyway, as Eunosdriver says, completely off topic.
