Playful John

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.

I love the look on James face in the first couple.
“Here we go again!!!”
Nice story having the four pictures, just a bit of a shame about the shadow on James face in the last one.
I am sure that you have already tried it, but how would they go as black and whites?

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

I didn't try it with these ones, but most of the ones where there was heavy shadow, even in black & white I was unable to save them all that well. A few made it decently through an infrared treatment, but then it became a different sort of an image.

It was a great gig, but we weren't actually allowed to move to take pictures so Dad & I were sitting in the same place.

Only John could get away with that :) Nice catches.
Could you and your Dad only afford one seat? (I mean both sitting in the same place..... ) :?

Actually, Mick, we couldn't afford any.

It was a $140 a seat fundraiser for the Haven Amphitheatre in Castlecrag, and we were the official 'togs for the gig.

Except that normally I'd expect to be able to move around a little in order to get a few different angles of the performers, but we were told to sit and stay.

Had they asked nicely, I'd probably even have rolled over and allowed them to tickle my tummy. :)

I've now been asked to write a review of the night, btw.
