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.

Jess hair flicking, trying to step out from what I normally do for a more varied portfolio:

Great shots, something with a different style!

second last, I love the way the hair looks like its on puppet strings, and the last is a great "lions mane" kind of look.

Thanks guys.

I think I'm going to leave all the studio gear setup when the studio is finished so I can force all non-clients to be photographed. Today I shot a Canadian builder with heaps of cool wrinkles - there was a window installer guy who declined my forceful attempt to photograph him (perhaps due to his messed up neck - just had cancer surgery for cancer). Would have made for an interesting photo though.

All in the name of an interesting and varied portfolio!

Wow, these are sure different. 3 & 4 are my top picks. As said before, the 3rd one having a sensual feel to it and 4 for the lions mane like look.

Must have wasted a lot of hairspray to get these shots :P

I see the blur you are wondering about.

All were at 1/250... but would this matter if the strobe operates at 1/800?

Perhaps there was enough ambient light to make a slight blur...

I just saw these Heath - very well done, the colour tones are spot on, and the sharpness is great.
