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.

Sorry if any of these are reposts. . . I haven't been around in a while and I'm not entirely sure they're all 'new'.

I really like #2 nicely composed and interesting angle.

The two kid shots are nicely done too, I like the eyes in both they draw you in.

#1 I think we have all felt like pulling our hair out, but I'm not sure if they works... then again I'm not sure what you were trying to acheive with it :)

Interesting to see more "blue and white" then black and white used in some of these shots.

thanks for the praise and comments btw, i LOVE your sig. . it's befitting to all of the above pics, and mostly everything in my portfolio

nothing is planned, and the harder I try the worse my shots look

the 'accidents' are always the best

I hope the more I learn and play, the more regularly the accidents will happen. But your right you can try too hard to get the results your after, sometimes you just have to shoot and let the shots find you.

Hey Rich,
the first two shots are fantastic.
I especially love the processing on the first.
Great work.

I like the 2nd one neing unconventional portrait nicely framed, and the last one, has a nice perspective and off centre candid feel to it.

Rich

You've posted #2 here before, but it's a great capture and well worth another viewing. A good bunch of pics.

firstly, sorry about the repost

secondly, thank you all soo much

Marty- I'm glad you like the PP on the first one. . I'm not sure if that look is what I was originally going for, but when I got to that point, I really thought it strengthened the image and went with it

wendellt- appreciate your comment on the second one, a lot of ppl have told me I need to 'fix' the rotation, but it's exactly how I want it :)

Excellent shots Jim,

I particularly like the colours of the first one and angle of the second shot.

Rich, no need to be sorry. It's a masterful image and I'm certain there are many here who hadn't seen it. That's a great pic well deserved of a second viewing. I for one enjoyed seeing it again.
