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.

A strong image, but to be very picky I'd have liked the full eye rather then nicking the corner of it. Her eyes have a story to tell!

I don't know about that, Craig. I think it adds to this image's composition.

Pall, what is the age of this person?

Indeed, I agree on both counts. Fantastic image nonetheless! :up:

A great shot

I like this image as it is. Her powerful gaze holds your attention and I agree that her eyes have a story to tell. Now, when clicking on the image the larger version appears with, what I think, it is too much noise for my liking. I had myself had similar problems when I used too much sharpening in certain photos. That is why I believe this particular image is good an powerful as it is.

I don't know how I managed this, but I ended up with two identical postings. Hence, I changed one to this one to avoid being too repetitive and overcritical. :oops: :oops: :oops: I still like the picture of the girl!

thanks everyone,thanks zafra yeah the sharpness got over i think,micro nikkor lens is very sharp than other lenses i used and i aplied same setting file as i uses for other images while processing NEF in N-capture.this one needs to be sharpen less.

Pall - those eyes are amazing.
Great capture - I wasn't sure about the composition, but the more I look at it, the more I think it works :)
