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.

Very cool Narelle. You've captured the fading light beautifully and even Damo comes up alright in the second shot. :D

I expect to see the first one framed and hanging on your wall next time I visit. It's an absolute winner.

I suggest you change your signature - it's far from correct. :wink:

Thanks Simon :) I was pleased with how these turned out -much better than I hoped, seeing they were with the 105 macro, in fading light and handheld without flash.... completely assed it !!!! ;)

We should have a minimeet down at either Wellington Point or Wynnum ..... absolute heaven at this time of year at sunset...... or we should really go down the coast and see poor BigPix ......

Anyway, thanks again :)

I think the first shot is the stronger of the two,

the colour of the sky and 2 kids.
the other seems a tad busy for me.

I feel the first one would also work as a landscape, cropping at the bottom of the tuft of grass to the left of the girl in pink and the sky a similar distance above her head. feels much stronger that way to me. also makes the girls larger in the frame.

we could have a mini meet at the Southport Yacht Club........

EDIT: sorry forgot the pix's thinking of a glass of red with everyone......... both are very good pix's but can be improved a lot with just a little cropping......

1: crop about half the rocks off the bottom so your 2 subjects are better featured unless it is a pix of rocks

2: I would crop a little off the bottom and the left side so your subjects are walking into the pix a little from the side, this will show them better and give the great background a bit more lift also........
