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.

Matt, Matty, Matthew or just plain M :lol: :wink:

The quality of your work is really starting to take off. I love the simplicity of the first one - great motion blur and yet the car is nice and sharp. The tight crop works really well for me as well and, despite being averse to that tilted photo effect, I think it works really well here.

#3 is the weakest here. While the driver is sharp and the motion blur is good it's a little too tightly cropped which enhances the fact that we're looking at a small car with a large man in it so it throws the scale of the shot if that makes sense.

Awesome shots as always, great to see you getting creative with your motorsport shots. There is nothing worse than when motorsport photographers get too complacent and don't try and better themselves and their shots *cough* JustDave *cough*.

#2 and #4 are awesome.

Love the first 2! But #1 is my pick of the batch.. My first thought was 'I'm not sure if I could do that'.
