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.

I like #1 a lot.
The WB appears to be slightly off for me, but I don't mind it so much - in fact it adds something to the image.
I can't describe what I'm seeing, but "Bank Gothic font" comes to mind :)
It's very stainless steel 1960's clinical asylum like. It feels aged yet modern. I dunno...

#2 - got a laugh :) Endless bad puns to be had.

first one looks great. I can picture it taking pride of place in a brochure already.

the second one - well... i'll not rise to the bait. sell if to pfizer i imagine they have no shortage of $$$.
i do find the pink stethoscope tubing a touch distracting though.

I'd like to see a bit more PP in the first one; I think it just needs a tad more contrast or something to make it pop a little.

For the second one, shouldn't the arm be outstretched or ar least perpendicular to the body?

The arm position is actually ok. What is out of position is the stethescope. It should be closer towards the inner aspect of the arm (over the brachial artery).

Was a Viagra blood-pressure cuff actually designed to fit over an arm? :wink:

I thought it may have been designed for a different part of the anatomy. :D

Unless you're hung like an elephant, I'd say it fits the arm better :wink:

The second one would be better if you replaced the model with a baby's arm holding an apple. :?

First shot is superb
Don't like the second shot for two reasons
1. Is the stethescope positioning accurate?
2. Will you need permission from Pfizer to use an image of their logo on a brochure?

I could play with No.1. Contrast and a little ageing with split toning in either duotone or colour balance in PS. Very strong, this one. I like it.
No. 2 needs a little crop off the left, but is it art! :)
I hope they went well for the brochure.

Thanks, but disagree on both fronts.

The first image will be colour in the brochure. This is the only style of B&W I like (kind of low key toning) - high contrast or sepia "ageing" don't do it for me at all :-)

The second needs room to breathe on the left, cropping it makes it too narrow and tight for my tastes

For a brochure, number one is an absolute pearler. Striking as is.

What was the brochure for? If it is aimed at medical staff, the technical inaccuracy of the stethoscope placement may be worth fixing.
