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.

What's in the boxes?
C&C appreciated.
I used an action on these first two that I stole from Ronza (it's ok, he stole it from someone else, and anyway, it's free  ). You can read about and download it here. I should mention I messed around with it a bit, mainly to tone down the vignetting.
And lastly, I suspect this is a bit of a throw-away image (a shoot-from-the-hip image that looked half ok), but wouldn't mind hearing other people's thoughts: 
Cheers, Cheers,

If the last one was a square crop, I would say it looked like it came straight out of our Rolleiflex (that is supposed to be a complement
 ).
The use of the action in the first two look good - nice and contrasty. P Post no 3! Regards, Patrick
Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Kris,
I like the first one, especially with the death number already looking red, it provides a point of interest. I like the action you have used on that and the second. The third image has so many points which should make it a classic, the dog, the little girl or the couple on the rocks looking wistfully away. Unfortunately for me, the sum of the whole is less than the parts. Maybe if one of the above was the focal point... maybe not. Hard when you are shooting from the hip.
I like the first one, too Kris. It has a nice and quirky feel to it.
But you missed the pigeon holes!!! Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au

Thanks, Patrick, Glen and Leigh.
Glen - the death number? 
No pigeon holes there. They're missing out, I guess.
By the way, I watched Two Bricks, very quirky (as per your style ) but I have to ask, why were there bricks in the pigeon holes to start with? Is this some strange practise that I'm unfamiliar with?Cheers,
macka a.k.a. Kris
Chinese lucky numbers, 8 is very lucky and wealthy, 4 sounds like death so is unlucky. Have a look at how many triple 8s, 888, you see in Chinatown next time on numberplates.
Number one is really cool and love the colour as the focal point.
