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.

Leigh. I like this, I like it a lot. very much your style, but more approachable than some of your other work. Now I'm wondering how you managed to set this up. Must be one hell of a cooperative cat.

And if I'm not mistaken, you've shaved the beard :shock:

A. That ain't me. That's my brother.

B. My brother's not too fond of the cat lying on him, but that doesn't stop the neighbours cat, so while my brother was playing with a new DS game, I snapped the photo through the fan, hence "Fanboy".

Ahh Explains how you too a pic that looked like a complicated setup for a self portrait. Of course your brother looks nothing like you (eg you have a beard :oops: )

The style is very you Leigh. I really like the image, one that would not be out of place in a copy of Black and White, mind you 'your brother' would have to be naked :lol:
Terrific shot and I find this photo much easier to embrace than some of your other works. :)
cheers

Still laughing at sirhc last comment, but on a more serious note I really like this, did a double take at first about the beard, but remember your brother was the beardless Stark... I like it, even though I'm not a big cat fan, no pun intended I do like the setup, mood and lighting of this shot.. as Peter said, its a little more approachable then some of your similar style shots... (can't keep that pussy out of your beds can you?)

Leigh, this looks like a still from a movie.
I like the voyeristic feel about it.

Your skills are getting better Leigh - well done :P

Seriously, I'm liking you pictures more and more lately, and this is no exception.
The whole shot works together nicely, rounded out by the fact the cat is looking at you with that look of "not again!" :)
