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.

Went to a beautiful wedding yesterday as guests and shot this one off with the 50mm 1.4 - the rain stayed away at the right times too. All taken with the 50mm 1.4.

Nice capture Geoff.
Exposure of the face is pretty spot on.
Bit of grain in the image, iso must be cranked up a bit for the bad weather eh?
Don`t recognise the lady but i`m hopeless with faces.

Lovely capture Geoff: great expression on Bert's face, sharp as, and I like how you've just kept enough detail in the whites too. Weddings can be so tough in terms of dynamic range but you've done well there! ;)

The only thing that spoils it for me is the angle of the shot, it looks like the necklace is growing out the side of her jaw. :(

Definitely the better looking of the two. I presume Paul turned up at this event? :)

And I presume too that this was not shot with your new non-existant toy. :)

Yeah, go on, tell me to shaddup!

That's a nice wedding shot.....that's what it's all about! Memories. Only tip I could suggest with this one is you might consider very slightly darkening the whites of the car.....but that's a minor niggle. If all your wedding shots come out as well as this one you are going to make a fortune. :D :D
