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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Sydney Festival event Mamootot by the famed Batsheva dance company
It was a really beautiful contemporary dance, lots of interpretive freestyling with lots of artistic direction
the scene was backlit and lowlit so i shot iso1600 1/250 f2.8, group dynamic AF-C pattern closest subject priority on the 70-200
i worked out though even with the predictive focussing i got lots of miss focuses, still working out which one is beter AFC- single area focus with lots of focus twiddling or the predictive focus group dynamic method
i increased levels to make the white background blow out, to give it that ethereal quality
This is probably one of the best dance events at Sydney Festival
i'd watch it twice over

Cool shots Wendell. And yes I agree with you they have an ethereal quality. Almost like the stuff I would expect to see in a new age sci-fi type of tale.
I like the "blown" b/g as it enhances that effect.
Perhaps you could have cropped the left hand side of the first shot a little and I think it would be a cracker IMHO.
Well done Wendell.
Cheers, Mick
