Visual jam session ;)

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.

Had to re-quote the phrase used by Wendell last week. A bit more from my experimenting with street night photography.

Wayne,

1 & 3 are great, especially 3. Other ones are too OOF for my taste.

Wendell,

Thanks for the info. Do you have a press pass for yourself for this? Where is it? Do you need to buy tickets?

Gwendolynne show is meant to be the best on tuesday
I already have my pass

don't want to hijaclk this thread so Wayne
this series ha sthat really gritty spontaneous urban look but the only one that caught my eye was the first

I think you need to narrow down the theme a little and concentrate on the subtleties like colour mood and tone, not as strong as your other series, but nice to see you revisiting things, i like this sort of niche experimental freeform photography

#3 Is my favourite here, love the lighting

#2 I also really like this one, and think the OOF suits it

#1 I kind of like this one more without the street in it.. as I was waiting for it to load, I only got to see above the nike sign and it was good, but for me the vechile doesn't add to the shot.

#5 I like this but not as much as the ones I've listed above.. you've taken something any late night city goer is familar with and given it a bit of a OOF twist.

#4 For my this is the weakest of the shots from the Jam Session!

#1, Like the movement and angles in the first, very imposing...

#2, doesn't seem to work for me, not sure if it's the color or the blur but like the composition

#3, This I like, it grabs me, be tempted to crop out the grate in the BR cnr as it seems to catch my eye...

#4 not sure...

#5, I like this, the angles of the cars waiting, the paths, the lights in the street all seem to sork for me...

My favourite is #1 - lighting and angles are complimentary but I would try cloning out the 201 top left and try a crop up to just above the bright lights :)
