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.

bmx shot

Postby jamesw on Wed May 02, 2007 11:03 pm

i shoot a bit of bmx for a few mags,

was wanting a crit from people who dont usually check out bmx shots.

this shot was taken with a d70s, kit lens, sb600 on a pw to the left of the shot.

its pretty old for me (was still using the kit lens!), but i really like it... really nice simple lighting... a lot of the time im using 3 or 4 flashes!

it does look good, would be better if it was a tighter crop imo

Tighter crop and cloning of sensor dust and this will be a much better shot :)

I keep looking at the back wheel for some reason :)
it's unaturally bright compared to the front and probably rest of the bike. As you mentioned, due to the light on the left. I think that light should've been frontlit rather than sidelit like that. Personally, I think this sort of sports photography is better when you go right into the action with a wide angle lens (and a helmet) :)

hope my critique makes sense :)
