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 nice processing Peter,

I like your first one, nice colours, use of DOF.

From your collection at smugmug, I really like the treatment you did with the "Meditating Buddha", that would be my pick of the bunch.

Cheers,

André

Sharp as a tack! And the gold looks like gold. A little iconic collection. A good demonstration of your attention to technical details.

First thing that comes to mind, hammer and chisel.

Love the photo's colourful and well saturated and sharp!

André, Matt, Michael - thanks for your comments. These just belonged together somehow.

André - interesting you should mention that image. It was here to start with then I changed my mind and removed it since I thought it may be a little over done PP wise. Next time I'll trust my judgement. I've added it back :wink:

Peter I really liked what you did with the last photo. The First photo is very simple but works a treat.

Some really nice shots Peter, well done!

The last one is something special reminds me of Tomb Raider.

I particularly like the 2 last images. I've tried to photograph gold statues before in Thailand and they tend to look rubbish. You have done a great job here Monsieur Stubbsy!!
