My Fort Lytton shots...

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.

Bindi - these are excellent. The use of the stairs and the obvious decay blends well with the subjects. The diaphanous quality in the first shot is superb :)

Very nice Bindii, like both of them. Was it a model shoot organised or something else?

It was a day out arranged by a Camera Club (I'm not a member but any interested photographers are welcome to attend these days)... they are kinda disorganised though as basically they supply the girls... in this case I think there was two maybe three experienced models (and a few inexperienced girls) and a theatre group in costume.. oh an an old fashioned reinactment group.. (you know the ones the old battlefield type stuff).... anyways we pay the money and then your on your own ... you get to wander around and take shots of whatever takes your fancy... there is generally a lot of competition to get the models attention... and you've virtually no chance of posing her the way you want....

It sounds like I am complaining doesn't it...I'm not... its still a great day out and there are loads of chances for some good shots and to network and meet other togs.. I'm just used to having the subject to myself...well except at weddings when you I have to fight my way past Uncle Jo, cousin Dave and Aunty June etc... ;)

Oh and thanks for the comments.... :)

'Love the processing in the first. The deeper blacks give it a bit of a gritty 'street' type feel :)

Really great work, there's no way I could get these kind of results! I like the first one best, and the location is tops, big fan of gritty places.

The contrasts you have brought out here are great. In the first the contrast between black and white and in the second the contrast between the blue and the red. Really good!!!

Both very good images Sue, you cannot tell there may have been other photographers around as they seem to be under your complete control. I like the gritty effect you have achieved.

She took a dirty great big bat with her, and every time one of the poor hapless photographers came near the model, Sue would start swinging!

Fantastic! The 2nd is a cracker - these types of days are fantastic chances to learn a great deal! I just wish there were more ;)

Congrats, you should be very happy with these
