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.

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.

The first one is my pick, and shame in the last you didn't get eye contact from both, but that is perfectly understandable as I'm sure you had plenty of competition.

1 and 3 are great. Love how the background in 1 came out, although would be slightly better with more room at the bottom. Great stuff!

Didn't DJs ship over a whole boatload of 'important' big name international models in order to compete with Myer's one hawttie Jennifer Hawkins?

Did you use flash for the runway shots? It looks very well lit compared to prev launch shows.

i think also you need to be more discerning about the photos you post

in a reportage sense the others dont say much compared to the one i choose and on top of it its a very nice photo

the one of emma on the runway for example isn't flattering to her or the fashion its too isolated

once you get a trained eye for editing youll notice your photography will improve

You are right,and I some way I know it.
But I mentioned David Jones and the summer collection so I just contextualised my pics in relation to the event.

That's they were teaching to the PJ's course overseas. The old concept of 5 W.

I have not edited all, but your pic is in a safe strong-box.
A sort of "the best wine" in my cellar. :lol: :lol:

Wendell - The sections isn't always about posting your best shots, its about posting images you want reviewed and critiqued by your peers, so in this instance I think Fab can post this shots, he's linked to the gallery so anyone interested can look at the other shots.

perception is almost everything
