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.

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.

the little fella has had an ear infection, is cutting 4 teeth and has a pretty bad rash. all in all he's had a hard time. i'll never forget how sad he was when i look at this photo. :(

thats why i love this shot, it's a frozen moment in time that will live with me forever. good or bad, captured moments are priceless. sometimes it takes a shot like this to remind me why i love photography, its not always about the "perfect" shot.

b&W conversion, blue filter applied for mood, small amount of film grain added.

sorry, thats a script error from when i copied and pasted from flickr. for the B&W i just did straight B&W conversion with captureNX and then a 10% opacity colorise overlay. there's much better ways to do it i'm sure but i don't have the time, (or know how :lol: ), to do it a better way. my PP skills suck.

Can't see how you could improve it much, frankly, but have you had a play with Lightroom? It rocks for this sort of stuff.

Keep an eye on that ear infection. A friend of mine lost 60% of his hearing permanently because the infection was not picked up and treated. Beautiful photograph! You won't believe what it will invoke in 30 years time.
