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.

Surenj recently said in this post that it'd be good to see an image taken with a trusty old car windshield reflector - well here is one I shot at a wedding last year:

Great shot Geoff and thanks for going in to the trouble to post this!

Just for my education, I am guessing that the main flash is coming from high left side and reflector on the bottom right?

Surenj - no problems.
As far as I remember no flash was used for this shot, we were outside on a beautiful late Spring/early Summer afternoon, the car refelector was sitting just out of shot on their laps, facing up. My assistant and one of the bridal party helped hold it across them. :)

A very interesting technique...using a car reflector instead of a flash. Thank you, I will remember this.

Thanks for that Geoff. I was misled by the background to think that this was indoors and the strongish shadow under the womans chin to think that it was flash.

I should take my reflector when i am next out and about...
