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.

I figure I have made many comments in this forum but have not posted any pics.
I know this can be annoying for some.

Reasons are:

1. I shoot film, have very little scanned. (Scan what I need and delete afterwards)
2. All my scanned files which I did in one session and actually saved, are on 1 disc
3. Currently renting whilst building house, 1 disc is somewhere within 100 boxes not to be unpacked till move into new house
4. Out of photography for past 4 years and am not interested in my old images any longer. Forwards, onwards, something like that. All old material bundled into boxes to probably never see the light of day again
5. I cannot scan anything even if I dig into the boxes because LS2000 scanner has died. No intention of repair due to point #6
6. I will be purchasing a D200 which should rectify problems in the next few months
7. Once settled in new house will also post the old pics from disc

The shot I am posting here is from my hard drive and I have no other version of it in digital form bar this so could not do anything about the size. The frame I don't like but couldn't be bothered changing for such a small sized pic.

Anyway, I thought better to post something than nothing at all for the next few months. I have one more of my cat which I will get up on here soon.

Any comments of any description most welcomed. :wink:

This is Shaylee, a close friends daughter who I took some shots of whilst visiting. Kids can come up with the best expressions, it may not be to everyone's liking, but I loved it!

Hi Mark
I think your forthcoming D200 purchase will rectify your problems pretty instantaneously!
Anyway, nice picture.
Why do lots of babies have beautiful big blue eyes?

Lovely pic - and I do believe all babies have blue eyes when they are born :)

Thanks guys and yes, she had the most beautiful blue eyes! Not manipulated in any way.
My daughter was blue till around 12 months and she is now brown after her mother, currently 18 months, baby that is! Mine are blue but I believe the brown is the more dominant so kids will often turn to brown even if the parents are one of each colour.

Weird huh, my parents both have really dark brown eyes, and mine change from blue to green ... think I was a changeling :) :twisted:
