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 it. PP work make it very film like - esp. with the blacks.

From most of the pics you post here I would say you prefer the art side of things to the commercial?

Awesome Leigh. 90% of what you do I don't get and 10% is sheer artistry. This one is superb.

This one is a great photo, however one niggle is the hot spot in the top right corner.

other than that I can't fault it.
Are we there yet?

Leigh - I like. I agree on the hotspot but would even go as far as to suggest a top and right hand crop :wink:

It's not so much I prefer it... I just don't often like commercial work.

I can do it, but I can do a lot of things that I don't necessarily like doing.

Leigh, like it. As suggested I would crop to eliminate the lighting change on the wall

I'll echo everyone here however I can't make up my mind regarding the top right... it does in part add an air of ummm... can't think of a good word right now... let's say it gives an 'aged' feel to the shot.

I actually like the original photo as is. Even the way the ground is straight and the line of the building is on an angle.

Gritty and urban. Would make a great CD or book cover. One of your finer images.
