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.

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.

Nice shots. I have seen the blind effect before and you have exceuted it very well, also the B&W treatment really suits the shots.
#1 is my fav.

First set, my pic is No 2. a cracking shot, nice curves not overly busy.

Second set, No 2. is very arty and the last one gets my brain doing a dance ~ damn! :shock:

Very well done.

Cheers :D

Please, let's try to keep the discussion to the merits (or not) of the images.

I think that the last two of this lattermost set are the pick of this bunch, and the last of these is easily the best.

The textures displayed, both of the skin, and by the shadows projected onto the skin, plus the lines and shapes make within the image make this a most interesting one. I'm slightly disturbed by the two small white spots that I'm seeing just above the middle of this image - and I'm buggered if I know what they might be.

The pose, lighting, and composition of the second to last one are also very good.

The first of the series is the pick IMO the strong contrast against the flowing shape :D really works...

Very cool mate 8)

The second last one in the last set, and the last one of the first set are the best two images in the thread, well done, they are fantastic shots.

Sorry for sounding like a riddle. :lol:
