Glamour Fishing

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.

We were all dolled up for a lunch, so we thought we'd have a bit of a play with an idea we had. No PP except a crop and a quick B&W conversion using capture. C&C would be very much appreciated...

Quirky fun idea - I like it.

Somewhat of a juxtaposition :)

very nice!!! lots of detail, lots of textures, fur, net, water, all good!!!

styling is spot on, and full. Exposure, good.

Feedback for next time... You are at 40mm F8, perhaps just a tad less depth of focus, to soften the building, perhaps f4 or f5.6.

The boots are well styled, but you cropped one in half :(

Lastly, the horizon and roof of jeff's shed, are too close to her head, perhaps take a knee, or lay on the ground to get her shoulders above or sperated from the horizon line of the building.

Very well done mate!

Thanks Guys. Bruce, I agree with all of your remarks. I've got another very similar shot with both boots completely in the shot, and Jefs shed framed a little further from Lou's face. I might play with that one instead.
Good call wrt the arperture. A little less focus would probably work better, but I did want the background to be recognisable.

Cheers...

Very cool! Great juxtaposition, Excellent work.

Only critique is lighting. The backdrop is overexposed, very strong fill flash or a different time of the day may have been able to fix that.
Nikon D80, MB-D80, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, SB-800, Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3
Various bits of borrowed/stolen glass/speedlights etc. - zero style or taste.
