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.

Hey guys,
Coming home from an outing I snapped a few pictures of the missus as she was being silly and posing. I liked this shot and she said it was a pity I wasn't in it too. I didn't have my tripod with me so I handed the camera to her, stood against the same wall and then photoshopped the two images together
For a spare of the moment thing with just the onboard flash for lighting I don't think it's too bad (in my noob opinion) but I'd been keen for some C&C as to what I can do to make it better.
Would you clone out the shadows around my ears and her chin ?
Cheers

Jay, rather then clone out the shadows, it may have been better to move away from the wall if possible, then there would have been no shadows.

Yes clone out the shadows, and bump up the exposure by about 1/3 stop, it looks a little bit dark for a white wall.
Where you using oboard flash?

Good point phillip, I'll remember that for next time. I haven't actually taken any proper/planned portrait shots yet.
Yi-P, yes just the onboard flash and snapped on auto.
The wall is actually a sandy/bone/grey sort of colour. My shirt, as pictured, is white though
