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.

Juztin this is gorgeous work. Technically excellent aside of a little lack of sharpness i the first image but I can see what you may have been trying ot achieve. There is feeling in spades projected in these two images and commercial value written all over them :wink: :)
cheers

It's really effective. I totally love it. The detail and mood are subtle, yet powerful. It's got a sort of raw quality to it that many similar photos miss.

Gritty, in-your-face photography. Having been involved the design world for over 25 years I can honestly say that any art director would be happy to use these shots.

They would even look great in greyscale :)

OUTSTANDING.

This is the kind of work I really aspire to, Juztin.
Simple, potent and beautifully portrayed. Just plain WOW.

Great images Juztin. I really like the tones here. Good use of negative space for the art director to fill with copy. Great job.

Great work Juztin. Now this is just nitpicking but does anybody find the oof white section in the bottom left of the second image a negative, neutral or positive aspect of the image?

Have to agree with you Darryl but it is a miniscule criticism - I can live with but would probably prefer the attention remain on the main subject without the very slight distraction.

It's really difficult to be the least bit critical of magnificent shots like this though...
