Welcome Home

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.

Sorry to be so harsh and critical, But!

The WB still looks a bit outta wack to me.
The shadows dont give this photo anything extra.
The blown Highlights seem to pull my eye to them.
The blurred motion in the bottom left takes away from this.

Harsh mode off....

I hope that helped u out a bit?
Overall I think this is a nice one for the family album. Next time try a flash

The WB is off agreed but given the shooting conditions and that you probably wanted it to be candid, a flash wouldn't have helped you out. Either fix the WB or maybe converted it to b&w and adjust curves to give the image more contrast.

If you find this mistake often, perhaps, as a tip, each time you turn off your camera, flip the WB back to AUTO? I did that when I was starting in digital, and at least it eliminated the way off exposures (particularly while only shooting Jpeg).

In regards to WB I main 98% use it on Auto. I have only very recently started to change it when I notice in the preview screen that the colours are way off, and then I set it to the conditions. Ive found my D50 to be very good.

Ive found I make the mistake of not changing ISO back to 200 when I had it at 400 or 800 :(
