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.

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.

Nostalgia!
Here's an image that's 20 years old. It was taken in March 1986 inside the Athens Museum, Greece.
It is a candid shot, not posed. I saw this artist drawing one of the statues on display and took my pic. It was originally a Kodachrome transparency, digitised a few years ago.
It is sometimes interesting to look at older images to see if there is anything you could do better.
Things I would do differently now:
- clone out the artist's bag at the bottom (I didn't have Photoshop in those days  )
- use a lower angle to isolate the artist and the statue from the crowd.
Anyway, here it is (click for larger):

Gee that came out well Trevor! I agree wholeheartedly about the treatment you'd give it if you shot it today but it's a lovely image all the same. I wonder where the artist is now? Nice story - thanks for posting!

Thanks Simon. We are going to Greece again in May (for a wedding - should be a hoot!) so I was just going through my old images of when I was last there. Wonderful memories.
Ya gotta love photography, don't you?

Certainly. But I despair that the romance of sifting through a box of old prints or leafing through a dog-eared album you found in the attic is to be forever relegated to history in this digital age.

Simon:Yup, I agree. There's still lots of fun sifting through those old pix.
By the way, I forgot to mention that the statue the artist is drawing is "The Little Jockey", a bronze statue thought to be 2000 years old. It was found underwater in pieces and restored.

Great history lesson Trev. I wonder if he was riding the ancient equivalent of "Fine Cotton" ?
