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.

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.

Theodorus, the first looks unusual, is it a cardboard cutout or life size photo?

Another shot of the first subject:

It's a kind of a scarecrow. The bottles are a scarecrow too :D
It is from a "Scarecrow Day" in a greek village that was in a mountain with many "weird" scarecrows from some artists from all over the world.
Sorry for my english...

Very artistic impression in the last image you displayed Theodoros. I think cloning out the support sticks, which are a little distracting, from the 2 cutouts at the back may help the image. Not sure but perhaps even burning out darkening the top part of the image where light from distant paddock is coming through may help to enhance the image's mood and overall impact. :)
cheers

Thanks a lot Marco for your comments. You are right about darkening the first "scarecrow", but i did want to keep the scarecrows as they were. The first it's not white because of the sun and the two in the background are not black because of the trees. They are designed this way! Propably the artist put the blacks below the trees and the white in front to make it more realistic :)

I prefer the second photo

I prefer the second photo. May be because it is so unusual and makes you guess what the bottles are doing there in the first place. Are they the leftovers of a party? What do they contain? The third one I believe it would work better if you cropped it and made the head more prominent. Just a thought...
