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.

Hi all, i was thinking earlier yesterday of using a spotlight to very minimally light a subject. so last night i got a tiny halogen desk lamp & the mrs and...oii u sit there for a min.
ended up taking around 120shots, mostly B & W but a few colour, this was my choice of the colour shot .. yes it is meant to be very soft, i was hand holding my 50mm 1.8 with a speed of about 1/15-1/25 ... i darkened it all down and on the 2nd one please tell me if my gradient layer works or not 
Thanks Jeremy

Sorry but it doesnt work for me.. it kinda looks like a head that is floating as the rest of her is too dark...
you may spank me now...  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
You'd enjoy that way too much. Rather than use a spotlight, might I suggest a candle, or pehaps two? If you're using 2, keep the second one out of your image. The first one semi works, the second of these looks too thin and pasty. g.

Jeremy - of the two I prefer #2 - #1 is too disassociated, whereas #2 keeps a low profile tonality
