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.

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.

Well i've had a quiet day and i've been going through some old photos, and well i've got these images printed myself and hung on the wall in a black frame with a white matt and they look fantastic, well in my opinion. I just thought i would share them and get some feedback. These are of my children Gabby aged 4 in this photo, and my son Nathan aged 2 at the time, yes a very big 2 year old!! The first shot is of my son looking at his sister, he hadn't seen her all day and to see her all dressed up he wouldn't stop starring at her!! lol too cute. The second is when we finally managed to stop him from starring, they both starred off into the distance, and this is one of my favourite shots of the kids i've taken. the background i would have liked better, but given that every other direction was road and people it really was the only option.....but still it looks nice in my opinion, but i think i am bias!! lol   2 x Fuji xt1,vg-xt1 grip, Fujinon xf 18-55mm 2.8-4, Fujinon xf 14mm, Fujinon 56mm 1.2.

The blur effect on the edges doesn't work for me. I'd prefer a dark vignette if you must dull in down.
Blur aside, the second is a nice image. It's just a shame they aren't looking at you.

Hi thanks for your feedback, i've adopted the changes you've both suggested and come up with these two, and actually i think they look much better, no idea why i didn't go with a vignette originally!! lol let me know what you think!! obviously a slightly different crop. can't wait to hear if there is any other ways of improving it, most welcome for pp.   2 x Fuji xt1,vg-xt1 grip, Fujinon xf 18-55mm 2.8-4, Fujinon xf 14mm, Fujinon 56mm 1.2.

Much better.
Personally i wouldn't have a vignette on the second image. The background in the corners are dark to begin with. Dark clothing in the top corners and concrete in the bottom corners.

Lovely kids,  my only suggestion is with #2 I would crop a tiny bit off the top to remove the section where the horizontal railing intersects with the upright bars. I think it would be less distracting that way. Nikon D700 D300

totally agree about the railing, will tighten the crop and remove the vignette and re print to hang on the wall in replace of the old blurred version!
Thanks for your comments
