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.

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.

Hey NJ I think the third is the better image, however your selection is very noticeable and detracts from the image. Perhaps a better way to do it is to unselect everything, blur the entire image, and then just use a soft history brush perhaps on a reduced opacity to get some of the detail back, if you need a hand in doing this just let me know :)

I like all three!
Especially the ones with the Thinline Tele ;)
I like it how, some of it is still (like the guitar, drums) and the rest like motioned blur! Very cool!

the guitar shots are much better than the ones of the drummer.

don't forget band gig shots don't need to be super sharp. just portray the sense of movement which you've done and everything will be sweet ;)

#1 for me. I like the colour treatment and the way the guitarist stands out well from the background. Very rock & roll :wink:
