Mr. Tom Burlinson

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.

I was one of the official photographers at the Don Spencer ACMF Charity Ball the other week and a Mr. Tom Burlinson was doing Sinatra pretty bloody well.

Here are a few of what I snapped:

the first one is good with the couple in the shot
although it seems there wasn't enough light on them at the time

and the last one is great

i saw these in colour and think they worked slightly better
because of the atmospherics it portrayed

Nice Leigh
#3 is my pick of them, simple yet conveys a lot of emotion.

#1 and #4 for me, and I'd be keen to see the colour version if your feel like sharing.

I've seen the colour ones now, and pffft Leigh has nailed the B&W conversion it's heaps better then the colour.

A great series and subject appropriate treatment Leigh. #1 is my Pick for its power and composition has the greatest impact and play between the elements. You have really captured the essence of this performance here and the subtle relationship between artist and performer. #2, compositionally is OK but Tom's eyes are spooky almost unsettling, I can't figure out what is going on with them here. A simple function of timing and perspective I guess :?
The last is also strong although I would have preferred a little more space for Tom's left shoulder and head, a little too tightly cropped there I feel, to balance the image
cheers

Marco,

His eyes are actually closed in the shot you find spooky.
