Some Indian Snaps

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 haven't posted for a while and I am at work thinking I would rather be doing photography so I thought why not dig out some images for critical comment. The key one I would like some comment on is The Bengali Girls... Is it feasible and also do you think it is worthwhile photoshopping this to amend the background?

Anyway here are a few images.

Great shots Dargan. They really tell a story about where you were.

The background in the first one seems a bit washed out - perhaps it may look better with a crop just above the bank IMHO. The main subject looks brilliant.

The second one again IMHO I think could be cropped to remove the far bank altogether. Looks like a great shot of a fisherman contemplating his work.

Yes the third one would be fantastic if you could somehow clone out the pot and the person in the background (don't ask me how). The girls look full of personality. They are nicely captured.

Last one looks great. Lovely misty tones to the background. Has this one been cropped?

Well done. Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

I have about 13Gb of photos from this trip and no time to do much with them. This was in February this year and I agree with your comments on cropping. These were all originally Raw files so the move to jpg probably has not been expertly handled. One I did get help with was Periyar in Mist if you want to look at that in an earlier post. I have a series of them I must get to. Thanks for the comments. :)

Dargan - the last shot of the boat is superb - it has a mystery to it that is compelling :)
