a question of saturation

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.

err i don't really see a difference. is it supposed to be obvious or subtle?

Also can you please reduce the size of the images? If I was using the desktop I wouldn't mind as much as the pic would fit on the screen but at 1024x768 res on the laptop, i can't see the entire pic - hence the increased probability of me not noticing anything with the three versions.

Kenny,

Pirostich makes a valid point here regarding the image sizes.

A couple, really. As a general guide, the maxium size of any side - width or height - should not be greater than 800 pixels. Your images' width is somewhat greater than this, but for one image, or a couple, this wouldn't be a major problem.

But in this case you're asking that we compare A with B with C, and with images this large, and even with a fairly large screen, one can only see on and a bit images at any one time, thus making the comparisons you're asking us to do somewhat difficult.

So, for this sort of task, it would be far more productive, I think, to use much smaller images, allowing at least two images to be fully seen within the context of the compariosns that you're asking to be done.

As it stands now, you've possibly turned off more than a few people from offering comments, simply because of your presentation.
