Stars pt1

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.

I am now convinced the 85 f1.4 is SHARP!

Lovely pics Wendell, looks like that lens is a keeper - although the lighting is a little harsh (I'm guessing there's not much you can do about that in that sort of situation).

...But where are the stars? ;) ;) ;)

Great stuff Wendell, I'm sure this was great experience and only just another small step towards bigger and brighter things for you my friend!

And that 85mm is very Drool worthy.

Well done.

Looks like you are very pleased with the 85 Wendell, the pics look to have great detail on the web but I,m sure your original images are even better standouts

thankyou everyone for the support

the 85 f1.4 is an insane lens on the web it does look sharp
but the original pics are just scary I can pinpoint fine minute facial hairs and skin textures, it helps if you use the flash, but even at f2 the sharpest point is dam sharp
I would question sharpness at f1.4 though a bit soft

Great shots, Wendell.

Just as a side note... you spelled your last name wrong in the watermark. :)
