Schwere Panzer-Kompanien

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.

The Tiger Mk1 - the combination of two hobbies. The original was in colour but has been taken through Alien Skin black and white filter (Kodak TRI-X pushed 2 stops). Please C&C if you will.

This is good Chris.

I like the set-up with paints and dish and how you have positioned all the other hobby tools, the tank climbing over the paints, it all tells a great story.

The reflection of the Tank, how did you do that? was it a mirror?
Also the moody lighting really suits. I notice a really strong narrow bright light souce at the centre near the Id no's which I really like. Can you tell me what it is?

Sorry for all the questions, I've only just discovered Plug-ins for B&W coversions :D :D :D and now I'm like a sponge. :wink: BTW - Thanks for the tip off to Alien Skin, I had seen it discussed before but couldn't remember the name of it. :oops:

Thanks for your comments Mark - the light was actually daylight coming through a gap in the curtains. To me it added a sombre mood to the shot :)

Thanks Chris.
I thought it looked like natural light. I think it sets the mood of the image nicely.

Nice image. I haven't built anything in ages. I like the PPing you've done sets a nice tone.

I think a nice warm sunlit tone would also suit it.

Nice!
