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.

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.

I hope you guys/gals enjoy and feel free to critique. I posted a few images this morning and I was pretty frustrated but I seem to have figured a few things out...

The first image is my pick of the bunch. The tread print is interesting enough to hold my attention and t he contrast of the gold rim is appealing.

The girl half undressed. :) She has an interesting tan line.

The second last image is good too, with the used, worn-out tyres leading to the culprit. :)

I too like the first image, it's eye catching, and centers the viewers attention to the spot you (assumedly) wanted, well done...

Like the catch of the dirt being thrown up, adds heaps more to the image...

Oh, stumbled here on the third, give me a minute.... Ah, that's better, now on to the next images... 8)

The 350Z and the BM are great catches of controlled power slides, and particularly like the angle and composition of the spare tyres and the Nissan,

Love the first one, very strong! The S13 with shredded tyres in the foreground is also great. The shot of the bimmer would be superb if it was all in the frame, it's not bad however!

I like the one of the Nissan Z but think the others might have too close a crop...

Still, some great shots there.

Oh and Steve, I'm going to take a stab with that tanline and say that though it's unlikely we will ever know, the blobbiness of the shape being so abrupt suggests to me it might be some sort of fluffy pom-pom-ball-thingy on some other underwear she wore at another time.

the whole series really portrays the atmospherics of that sort of event

this image regardless if it's not technically perfect has a great rushed feel to it, the angle of the car, tilt, colour and the pan all make for an image with great feel.

wow guys...

Thankyou!!

There are many more images in the series

I feel really good with the results. This was my first shoot with my new D70s and my first intro into amateur/professional cameras. My only other SLR experience was my film Canon Rebel, haha. I learned photography on my way to an A.A.S. graphic design degree at Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts (Pensacola Junior College) in Pensacola, FL under guidance from Warren Thompson and Mark Francis (Frances?). Dont know if you've heard of either but both have exhibited wonderful work.
