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.

Yes, it's not my usual style or dodgy location.
This image is to prove I do also visit nicer locations (sometimes).
The light was harsh and not enough clouds in the sky for my liking.
I saw this beautfilul headstone in a local graveyard today.
Isn't that where we all go on a sunny day...????
A little Angel....

What does that button do....??

Very good image, nicely PP'd. For me it would be better with a slightly tighter crop to remove the distracting headstones to either side and the grass at the bottom. But see the disclaimer in my sig block

Hey Mate,
thanks for your suggestion.
Its actually part of the entrance to the grave area, I wanted to use them for the composition to create an entrance/gateway to the statue.
Also, my idea was to use the foreground as a path to the statue, but whats in my head isnt usually right..
I didnt just want to have a statue growing out of nowhere. thats my idea, but I saw the real thing, so its good to hear how others see it.
I like your sig.....

Hey Xerubus,
thanks.
I just had a close look at the face, and it is looking quite realistic.
It looks spooky, or maybe my eyes are just imagining it.
