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.

BP, this is pretty wild, but nothing like stuff from the 70s. Remember the body shirts, the flared daks, the Grosbys, the puce green ties 8 inches wide?

I'll try and find a tie somewhere. I still have my wedding tie from 1983.

Talking about honeymoons, I left for our two week holiday in bottle green flares, blue/white David Jones herringbone body shirt, tan Grosby's, HK station wagon, $200 and a K-mart tent. $80 went on two tyres on the third day, then we lived like beggars for the rest of the time! Looking back we laugh... :D

Really? I find it a mark of personality for people who wear cartoony ties.

I have a Looney Tunes crossword one and a Bugs Bunny playing piano one. :)

A friend who has a habit of turning up at goth nightclubs in bright Hawaiian surf shirts

Same said friend attending a wedding I was photographing he is the one dressed as batman attempting to steal chips from my wife.

I unfortunately usually wear basic black I did photograph a school formal late last year and some of the kids were dressed in the same clothes we wore in the early 70's it was sad to see young lives so wasted :shock: :lol: :shock: :lol:

Something from the 70's! How about this... Short shorts and long hair, just like today (the hair that is)

Image

Those were the days when I actually had hair! I am back row second from the left. Oh how I wish I had even 1% of that hair!!!!! :(

My contribution to this paragon of bad taste :lol: This shirt was given to me several years ago by an obviously colourblind relative!! You will note that it still has the tag attached, I only kept it in case I get invited to a "bad taste/70s" party. Fortunately I haven't been invited to one yet :shock:

You have been warned. It is UGLY :!:

If I'm alone in a forest and my wife is not around to hear what I say, am I still wrong ??

That is certainly an eye catcher - wear this shirt to stand out in a crowd - and have bricks thrown at you :lol: :lol:
