Watching them grow up!

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.

Watching them grow up!

I had a chance to get a few snaps of my gorgeous niece and nephew last week when they visited. They're now getting to the age where they think it's funny to make weird faces rather than smile naturally...so making them laugh was heaps of fun :). Can't wait til the day we have our own, hoping I don't blind them with the flash before their 1st bday. Anyway, here's one I wasn't too sure about. Would love some critique and comments:

Gorgeous expressions, got to love that brotherly/sisterly love, in time they be reluctant to be in the same shot together :)

I'd play around with a closer more intimate crop and see what you come up with.

I believe it is an excellent photo very sharp and with lovely pastel colours. I also think you managed to capture their cheeky personalities and although they are playing to the camera you came out with a photograph that any one should be very proud off because children at that age are not easy to photograph. It is obvious to the casual observer that they enjoyed being the centre of your attention as much as you did taking their picture. Congratulations.

Nice capture Geoff. Don't know if it is just my monitor or my tired eyes but it seems as if there is too much pink in the shot. Cheers, Mick :) :)
