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.

Matt - what a beautiful bitch. I'm a sucker for greyhounds/whippets/Italian greyhounds. The only thing I don't like is the dark object on the right hand side - maybe crop or clone? Other than that, she's gorgeous !!!!!

Great capture Matt. What a shame the shadow wasn't even, right across her. Still, it's the most minor of niggles in what's, overall, a lovely piece.

A brother of mine had greyhounds for years, ending up as much loved pets (one reached 17 years old! Normally a greyhound doesn't live past about 2 or 3 years then most of them headbutt a bullet, disgusting I know but a cruel statisic)...

I have never found a more placid, and house oriented dog than a greyhound, a wonderful breed of dog for a family pet... Except for their particular view on pussy cats maybe :lol: ...

Is this a whippet or something? I assume the eye color is from a flash?

Sorry Matt, my post was ambiguous, just brought a few Scriptures to mind! Yes, I do like the image. I'm not a great fan of greyhounds myself, most probably because I have had nothing to do with them. King Solomon obviously liked them. (I and my family am dachshund nuts!)

Your photo here is one of those keepers which will remind you of the dog for a long time.

Cheers,

Max
