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.

So after a bit of a Lazy time i thought I'd post a couple more African shots, just to be different. These were all taken on the same day in a place called Bwindi, in a national park in Uganda, just at the point it borders the Congo and Rwanda. Not the most stable part of the world, but beautiful and friendly. This was where I hiked in to see the gorillas.
The kids were all form an orphanage in the town. They used to gather most nights and put on a show of traditional dances for the tourists for a donation, to help raise funds for the new school they were building etc.
This is one of the kids on his way to the show
This is another
This one is during the danceing. This kid had oodles of personality but he was really shy. Every time any of us pointed a camera at him he'd turn his head away. THis is the only shot with eye contact any of the 3 of us got of him
Shots are straight of the camera, converted with Raw Shooter and shrunk in Photoshop.
C&C welcomed as always.

I like them they are very good, specially the second one. It looks as if you just tapped him on the shoulder. The first and second are natural; while in the third one the kids are playing to the camera.
Actually, you could have taken them somewhere is Brisbane too as we are getting more and more African refugees. I hope you enjoyed the trip.

I really like the second one. It evokes something in me, although I can't describe what it is!  Nikon D7000

The second one has a great composition and combination of colours and just the precised sharpness. The subject has a natural pose, a friendly smile and he is looking at the lens of the camera, so he gives the impression of looking directly to the eyes of the viewer and making eye contact.
