The complexity of colour

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.

Ok working now. No. 2 is a great capture. I feel that the last one is too dark, at least on my monitor.

The soap bubble man illustrates the theme best, capturing the rainbow makes this image stand out.

I still don't see #2, but I see the others.

A shame, from the comments it seems to be a great photo

I have no idea why some images are visible some of the time and others are not....except some of the time? Is this the same technology that controls jumbo jets? :shock: :shock: :shock:

I'm repeating myself for the third time in one of your posts Matt, but here goes again.:D Its the links your using .You need to use the address link when you click properties on your pictures at your pbase site or open the picture on your site ,copy the address from the ad bar and add .jpeg to the end of it ..Don't use the location link which is what your using . http: //i.pbase.com/o6/92/401592/1/77812404.U3J0pGWv.soapbubman.jpg .Those links apparently change when they move stuff around on there servers so sometimes they will work and other times they won't . Thats roughly the explanation i got from pbase when i was having the same problem .

Your links should look something like this http :// www. pbase.com/image/77812404.jpeg

Matt - do what Drifter says.

I can finally see them all. #2 is exceptional. Not a big fan of the last one though. I think it could be a little brighter.

I liked the bubbles, but I kept scrolling down and I'm glad I did, love the Loneliness, great eye and wit again Matt, love it!

I'd say the only thing that you could add (might be physically impossible) is a reflection in the reflected space on the right of a man looking wistfully at the model. (could just be me).
