At Peace...

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.

Hi Ozczecho,
I like it, it reminds me where I want to be.....asleep :) It really shows the peacefullness of a child's sleep.

In my mind I feel it needs to be cropped a bit as I feel the child is the focus of the photo, yet my eyes arent being drawn to her. Maybe crop out a bit more of the curtains, but then you will lose the effect of the cushion.

I still like it the way it is though.

Cheers
Steve

Excellent shot - the B&W converstion and high key nature of it works well in MHO. I would crop out the pillow on the lefthand side - I find that distracting and drawing my attention away from the subject. Very cute.

JordanP and Ausyuppy thanks for the feedback. Sorry for such a late reply. As soon as I posted this I left for China to watch the F1s go around....

Interesting suggestions about the crop. I have a closer crop but liked the wider angle. The pillow was added to add balance but I can see your point. Interesting to see how differently everyone sees the photo....again thanks :D

The composition is very deliberate and very effective. To my eye it adds a sense of order and calm. I like.
