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.

This is my Grandma, the shot is not PS'ed, besides contrast increase and rotation. The exposures were done with a maglite for about a minute each.
It was taken with my old D50. Just got the D80 yesterday :)

Comments and critisism would be great.

Looks great, but the one on the left is a little transparent and ghosty, that scares me a little bit :P

Maglites are quite popular this week in making exposures!!

This is a very nice image, and a well executed implementation of the techniqu.

I think it's been let down a little though by the posing of the model, who to me looks just to static and staid.

HAs she been doing something, or looking at the camera perhaps, or maybe interacting with her other self (playing cards springs to mind in this instance) it would have added more interest and been able to better engage a viewer.

Well done, nonetheless.

Excellent, I like it a lot. Exposure is very nice and so is the lighting.
