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.

This was shot on the dance floor during the reception
I was a guest not the professional.

Two different crops of the same photo.
Exposure: 1.0sec f5.3 95mm ISO1600 (18-200VR)
I was generally shooting flash & had the WB set accordingly. Took the correction from the dress.

Hi,

I really like what you have achieved. I can look at these for a while, there is a lot of detail in the effects. I really like them, however, I wouldnt present these to the couple, as they represent ghosting, and something a little creepy (captured beautifully mind you), and perhaps not too appropriate for the happiest day of thier lives.

Nice work.

Hi Greg

Its great that the bride is smiling in this shot and is obviously enjoying herself, but the effect is a little too much for me. Just a little too overwhelming.

I like your idea, but I'd prefer the bride's face not to be that blurred out.
