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.

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.

Hopefully, some constructive crit...

#1 - i think the ear should be in the pic or out, but not cropped in half. I'd prefer it to be in, since it would balance the photo a bit more as i think it's shifted a bit too far to the left.

#2 - no comment

#3 - bride's dress is blown out. it's hard not to, but i think this is way too much.

#4 guy's head chopped off top left corner looks like he is decapitated :( Otherwise you got her at a good moment. I'd slightly fix up (lighten) the skin fold lines on her neck though. Again, her dress is blown out too much and the bridegroom's suit is too dark with no detail.

Actually there 3 and 4 were good exposures with very very very little clipped highlights. The reason why 3 looks blown is the treatment I gave it. I wanted a bit of glow and boost the contrast up. The tradeoff is a shot that looks blown but had the intended look I'm after.

Number 4 had also no blown highlights on the dress except for the downlights you can see on the top right. However I went with a contrasty treatment which again means there will be a bit of tradeoff. However I do agree with the chopped head. Good find.

Yep, these are different and are great. I don't think the blown highlights matter that much in this instance, and you have frozen the respective moments well. I also don't mind the decapitated chap...makes for a talking point. :) Very enjoyable indeed.
