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.

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.

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.

A while ago I posted a B&W image from a shoot I did with Tereza. Finally had some time recently to go through and process some more of the photos. Posting one of my favourites from the set - appreciate any comments with regards to the pose, framing etc.

Nice. I like the cool tones in the image. Very suitable pose and facial expression.

I like the pose, it fits the style of clothes / hair and the location

as for the crop... I would like to see a little more space above her (not a lot as that would ruin the slight edginess of the photo)

I like the overall coloring but there seems to be a lot of magenta creeping into the blown highlights.... top left, lights on the right and her dress below the exposed shoulder... but I'm not sure how you could removed that without changing the tone (maybe just use the desaturate brush on those areas)

That's an interesting image but I;m not sure why. Lots of quirky elements, unusual composition...and that hair!

Thanks guys for the feedback.

firsty, yeah, didn't really notice the magenta cast in the highlights until you mentioned it, and checking the numbers in PS, it is a fair amount of magenta there. Thanks for pointing it out.

I find the diagonal line draws my eye away from her,
maybe a little more or the wall on the left of the image would balance this out.
