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.

My uncle and aunt asked Pat and I to photograph their son's christening, which took place yesterday.

Took the new WA toy along in the hope of getting a few shots of the church. This is the Serbian Orthodox church in Blacktown, Sydney. It's ugly as anything from the outside but has some quite cool frescoes inside.

Took these after the ceremony. The priest got into this shot by accident, he was rushing me out as he had somewhere else to be, but I think he really adds to it anyway. Would like to know what you guys think. Any suggestions for PP are welcome, too. Unfortunately the windows are completely blown so I can't salvage any detail there.

These are fantastic shots of what looks like a beautiful place. A great introduction to your use of the new toy. The light is great too which is always a problem with churches. You must go back there again.

The first image with the priest in it is excellent. You're right, he does add an extra 'human' element to the image. :)

Thank you Stubbsy and Killakoala.

Stubbsy, yes, no doubt I will be back there eventually, all the various family ceremonies are held there.

Here is an alternative edit of #1, thanks to Pat's PS skillz.
