Vietnam Pt III

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.

All lovely, but Uncle ho is a standout, and think the last one with a little PP (fill flash) would be a pearler as well.

Norbs - after reading your blog on the last pic I realised that sometimes we need to know the story behind a pic.

I was so impressed that I decided to try an experiment in CS3 with your pic (please do not be offended and I will remove pic at your request).

I opened you pic through Camera RAW (a great feature of CS3) and applied exposure and recovery on your image - the result is:

Chris was that the result of just clicking a button ? Or is it a little more involved then that ?

Craig - after opening Norbs file through Camera RAW it was just a matter of sliding the exposure control to the right and, after getting what I thought was OK, just giving a slide to the recovery slider - this is a feature of CS3 that is outstanding IMO. :)

No problems at all with people having a crack at making the image look better. I can see the mans face alot better, but I dont like what it has done to the rim of his hat. Also, because I was there, I know it isnt how it looked at the time. Even I had troubles seeing much detail in his face squinting into a rising sun. Thanks for lettimg me know there is a CS3 thoguh. :)
