A few for the week - Primary Colours!

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.

#1 - The dark shadow along with the hard white of the girl do not really work IMO

#2 - I like the pose but feel that the lighting could be better controlled to give more of just the subject and in this instance, the shadow. Because the shadow is more detached than in #1 it gives a degree of separation which really works.

#3 - Does nothing for me

#4 - This just works so well and is IMO very Warholian

i like the negative space in two because it gives more prominence to the model
and thew snoot spot effect works great at isolating her

same deal on the 1st but the 2nd one is stronger
sometimes for a stronger image the subject matter doesnt have to occupy the full frame

and the last lips shot is excellent, i'd take a bite out of that

#4 is the first photo I've seen where the copyright stamp actually adds to the image. :)
