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 like the first, very nice. The second has the red reflection of her hat on her face. Don't know if this could be removed in PS.

Cheers

I like the first also. good light and the had makes a good composition.

as mentioned, the 2nd has a red cast on the face. possibly some fill would have helped, but better to be aware of potential issues such as this and avoid them. you notice also that the whites are quite hot on the shirt.
seems to be taken with the sun high and therefore quite strong BTW: seems sharp enough. I guess you have been practicing your techniques after the other thread.

Lovely Suzanne. I do agree with teh previous comments that some fill would help to diffuse the red in teh second shot. She's a cutie and I'm sure you'll give your D200 a workout around her. :D

lovley shots........ like all photography these 2 pix's can be improved

this is what I would do, but as you are the photographer and are happy with the pix's, is what is important.........

1: I find the first pix great but would warm the shot a just little as it looks a little cyan or cold but only in colour

2: this is also good but I find the face just a little dark, the red on the face does not worry me as it is a natural reflection off the hat, and a lot of this will go if the face was a little lighter....... have a play in curves......

These are great captures, find the first really catching, such a great expression and moment, terrific hat, great pose, like this...

The shadow in the second doesn't worry me... If you want to play in PP, I'd be tempted to sharpen up the eyes a smidge in the first...?
