For lovers

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.

I like this one Chris. I'm a big fan of the shallow DOF and you've used it well here to isolate the subject. Nice muted colours and leading lines.
Regards,
Murray

I like this shot Chris. Great use of DOF. I would suggest a tad tighter crop on the right side weather board space closer to the last hat and perhaps a little off the bottom of the frame for the balance so that the crop better matches the top of the frame, particularly with regards the first hat. Don't know if that makes sense but i've cropped it by using the forum window sizing to crop as I have suggested and I like it. Mind you it's your image :)
cheers

this is a really technically excellent shot since you managed to use a certain f stop and distance to get most of the middle hat in tight focus
from it's left and right extent, you must of spent soem time on this one chris

it's just not a simple shallow depth of field shot

Chris - this shot is simple and complex in one. Mind sharing the EXIF data? I like what you've achieved and would be interested to know more about how you shot it! Well done matey.

How good is this? I love this one Chris - you really controlled the shot and put that focus plane exactly where you wanted it. Great.
