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.

When I met this guy backstage, I thought he was going to be one of the models...well he said he was a model. Didn't expect him to come out dancing. Super friendly guy and funny as hell.

Just love how the lighting outlines his body especially in the last pic.

Wayne,

#1 and #4 .... what can I say; these two are breathtaking, and if you're wanting to build yourself a portfolio, these need to be included.

Holy Fajitas! Didn't expect this many positive comments.

It was a lucky draw I guess with the lighting. Basically set the camera up in manual mode, snapped off a few quick shots and had a look on the LCD and adjust accordingly. Still envious of how they can get the lighting that nice.

I'll definitely be including these in my folio amongst the other pics.

Even though it was my first time, I had help from Wendell regarding settings so he deserves credit for it as well :)

Powerful images and a big bonus for your portfolio. You should be able to get these published.Good work! Oh! And go back to this guy....give him some prints and work with him again. He's perfect!

Matt, that's what I intend to do :) He's an awesome bloke. He called me asking for the prints and asked how much. I said he can have it for free (in the hopes that I can get other work later on). Just need to get my foot in the door and leave one helluva footprint :D
