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.

After examing those model threads by Alex and Arthur I decided to try out the trade :wink:

The shots were taken in my studio using nothing but natural light.

I posed the models in several different position but since its their first time under the lens, they were quite stiff and lifeless.

The results are okay, but I think I need to hire or find some more lively models. But these guys where the cheapest I can find and also the only ones that wont result in a divorce. :wink:

:P :P :P

Well I'm not sure I'd agree with lifeless, I see they offer free Circus Acts, maybe you needed a tightrope and a unicycle ?

On a more serious note, I think the lighting could of been better.. I didn't like the shadows in some of the shots, and well I'm not sure if Mal was being serious.. but a few do look a little soft... (could just be my weary eyes..). BTW, do you have any shots of your 'studio setup' ?

You can say that again, Nito!!! :roll: Did you do much post processing? If not, I think you can benefit from curves and levels. I agree the lighting is not the best. Need a real model...
