Computer Lesson

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.

I hope you find this picture interesting. I chose this image
because of the sense of wonder and the expression in the
subject's face. It also celebrates her 91st birthday and
will power to get on with life.

Every picture tells a story - and what a story :)

Its a magical image Zafra and you should be chuffed with it as it captures so much emotion... I am sure that this picture will be treasured for many years to come... btw... its probably not nice to mention 91st birthday and will in the same sentence... *faints*

The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

That is a fantastic image. There is so much happening in there and so many words that still could not tell the story of that photograph. Well done, it's a classic.

This is the magic of photography! To capture moments like this and preserve them forever. A beautiful image! No amount of academic conceptualisation can produce an image like this. Priceless.

I thank you all for your comments. The lady in the picture will be 91 yeard old this Saturday. She is very bright, has a terrific sense of humour and is interested in everything from politics to sports and from the arts to current affairs.

My apologies, I was a bit of a hurry when I posted the photo, what I meant was her will power to survive and get on with life's challenges despite health threads and scares.

fantastic shot! Makes me wonder how my grandma would react if I tried to teach her a few things about this new technolgy called the 'computer'. :)
