Bel - satin steel

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.

Bel - satin steel

Postby Geoff on Mon Jul 24, 2006 6:03 pm

I took this morning, playing around with the D200 and the 50mm 1.4 as Bel was getting ready for work. I put the optikverve satin steel effect on this and played with levels somewhat. It is different I know - tell me what u really think though :)

Be interested on your opinions on this - I'm not entirely sure...My hard hat is on :)

Has Bel seen it?

I would not exactly call it flattering ;)

Hmmm - I'd try some noise reduction to smooth out the jaggy colour changes - otherwise it's good. A bit 'Dr. Who'

She saw it earlier on Scott.
I thought it had an arty feel to it, I don't think it's not flattering, and yes I've taken better photos of her. :)

Appreciate the honest reply though :)

Geoff,

If you were trying to do something different - you have achieved it. I'm not sure this image achieves much more than that though.

I don't like it, but it is good to see you are experimenting.

Cheers,
Craig

I like your shot, I am not up on all the technical jargon and the rights and wrongs of photography. To me a photo that makes me look at it and look at it is a photo worth having and showing :wink:

I will remember this photo for what reason I dont know, it has just struck a chord..

this is a much better pose for belle
and it's overexposed nature is good but i don't think the effect works in this instance
i would like to see the original image overexposed rather than treated in this manner

but cool effect anyway
