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.

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.

#1 for me Poon, captivating portrait, her eyes are engaging! It's a much stronger image than #3 I think, because it's all about 'her'. :) #2 is also a nice capture, but I'm still trying to work out what it says, it doesn't have the impact of #1 for mine!

hi

i think the first one is the best in this series as very good portrait, the soft light is great too.

the second is way too busy and there is a too much to look at, the poles at guiding your eyes up but there is nothing there.

julia's toes have been cut off....not sure if you noticed? also check your background when taking photos of people, try to use a f2.8 aperture to bring more attention to the person.

the last one, the two main signs are very distracting together, maybe a crop?

thanks for sharing your trip photos
