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.

Mitch,

Is the second one what one gets when one crosses a Datsun with a dildo?

And while the car that's the main subject in #3 is ugly, check the Capri in the background. Down scope! Dive!

Mitch, do I count more than the suggested number of images per thread/post in your post? ;)

Mitch,


In all, these are somewhat difficult to critique because there's so much in them, but that's a product of the environment within which you're shooting.

Shooting from lower angles will give you a chance to remove (or at least obscure) any unpleasant or distracting backgrounds, which in places like a racetrack are many and plentiful.

Using a wide angle lens will let you move in close too, and help you to add some drama to the shots.

I think we have been down this road (pardon the pun) before.
Please read my edit comment in your earlier post:

Please refer to the forum FAQs about the number of images in a post or thread. It may be better to provide a link to your web site so that members who choose to can look at your images there.

There is very little point in reposting exactly the same images - why not provide a link to your gallery so that interested members (and I'm sure there would be quite a few) can look there?
Thanks for co-operating.
