Something a tad evocative

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.

Prefer the first one. Feels like something out of a horror movie where the murdered is hiding in the shadows :) Either that or could be used as a anti-drug ad.

Matt - the first shot is excellent. The play of light and shade suits the subject

I like the first one and feel the noise works so well.

Matt K this is as radical as Stubbsys new stuff. You guys are coming out of your shells. No 1 is sensational. Grain and all. Love this type of stuff.

#1 is a great shot. The angle, lighting, colours and grain add so much to this picture. Superb.

#2 not sure what you were trying for here. Are we looking at the Lights outside the State theatre and the Monorail just happened to go past - or are we looking at the Monorail? Or do they work in tandem, and I am missing something?

Love #1.
