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.

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.

This was a shot I took at the Sydney Mirco Meet, Taro was nice enough to model his shadow and the impressive 200-400 (I think, am I right Taro?).
When I was lookin at the shot I noticed how monochromatic it turned out, so I had a little play (still practicing my PP skills) and came up with these two versions.
The first shot has just been resized and mildly sharpened.
The second I've tried to desaturate it, which I think creates an interesting effect, considering there wasn't much to destat in the first place.
Sorry I was too lazy to crop the yucky top right section out...
Was bored and couldn't sleep so did a third version.. more art then photo now this is a crude blend of an effects layer and the original... it was fun watching the granites texture change using the different effects on it..

Craig
Do you ever sleep? #2 and #3 both work pretty equally for me. #3 proves why you need to get more sleep

Very good idea for a photo Craig, and quite well done. But you know that there was a photo you took yesterday that I was particularly impressed with.
