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.

WW
The second and third photos are the best in my opinion.
The second photo captures a feeling of mystery
The third photo shows unity of purpose and colour. Possibly, I like the third photo the best
Was the dance accompanied by any form of sound, or music?
Cheers
Graham

Hi guys - Thanks for the comments.

The dancers were accompanied by some slow drum beating and the chanting of two old tribal leaders. Try as I might i couldnt capture the sound along with the images. The combination certainly enhanced the evening and made for a very interesting experience.

Wow, that's certainly not your normal place to visit as a tourist ;)

Interesting images though. Well taken and your PP is spot-on too. I am a bit put off with them looking 'down' in your images though. I know they are pretending to fish, but it looks a bit odd. :(
Steve.

I like the 2nd and third photos best. The second crops nicely to the intensity in the dnacers face and I like the moon-like effect of his bracelet (mini-reflector :)

The third shot shows the dancer in context with his partner and environment..their poses reminds of the scene in "dances with wolves" over the fireplace :o
