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.

Matt & Sam
Some happy snaps I took while Matt (AKA Rokkstar) and Sam visited Newcastle for a few days before they returned to wet old England. While I'm not much of a portrait photographer these came out reasonably well - especially given the quite harsh midday sun in the first two.

The best of these is the third one Peter - it just seems so much more natural, and how we remember them

I love the first 2....don't particularly like the last one (note the hairy leg) The first 2 are taken under broken light and normally this is a no no in photography. However, your fill flash balance was perfect and you have lightened up the shadows perfectly. The wild colours help to pop the images off the screen. These are some of the best portraits I have seen you produce....bloody well done! Regards

Hi Peter,
I assume you used fill flash - very well done. Cheers, CD
Thanks for your comments people. As for flash - no flash was used for these shots. What you see is the result of Post processing since (a) the D2x has no onboard flash (which sucks) and (b) I didn't have the SB800 with me

Lovely portraits Peter, particularly given no fill flash. You've done a marvellous job lighting the faces in the harsh light. Looks very natural
cheers marco
Yep Here's the original of #1:  Peter

I love them Peter. I never had the pleasure of meetingt Matt and Sam but these simple shots seem to illustrate their personalities somewhat. And isn't that exactly what portraiture is supposed to do? Great work mate.
