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.

Could be a decent name for a band... anyway, here are some pics from the Aroma Festival. I think I missed the point of a coffee festival and shot the people instead.

The first shot is exceptional and shows Peter in a new guise (no pun) :)

The last shot is a wonderful crop Leigh (it is cropped isn't it? If not, it's even better...) I'm not sure what it all means but these are great. Stubbsy looks a tad cold though...

It's cropped but not severely. Mostly for the line of the floor below from where I was looking over on the balcony.

Leigh, they are all good shots, and whilst 1 & 4 would normally be my favourates, the fact that no 3 is the only shot from all the Aroma festival shots (yours and others) which is in someway related to coffee makes it my pick. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Terrific images Leigh. Really love the composition and treatment of #4 and the your use of DOF for the subject background separation and Stubbsy you look great too :)

Great portrait of Stubbsy assessing his surrounds for photographic opportunities!

The B&W conversion is spot on and looks great.

I really like the perspective and composition you've presented in #4.

#3 for me. The OOF bridge in the background gives a lot of character and the B & W treatment gives a gloomy feel for the day.
