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.

Hey Vort, it's been a while. I like both shots was any flash used or was this all natural lighting ? Out of the two my favourite is probably the first but only by a little.

You did well I couldn't detect flash but I was suprised at how well exposed and well lit your subject was for both shots, but the gold reflector explains it.. well done.. (were you holding it and taking the shot?)

lovely shots, vort!
well exposed, sharp, and interesting colours- the colour of the water in each image seems to go well with the poses/compositions/whatever.

eg. the first pic looks like she's walking away from the beach, hinting a late afternoon time and sun going down.

sorry if this doesnt make much sense (must hit the hay soon)
