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.

Leigh, I've just finished commenting on your film critic portraits and now I'/m confronted with these.

These are superb. I love this style of shot. 1 and 2 are great and would work wonderfully with some human element in them - silhouette perhaps in the first, and naked female in the second with head out of shot.

I also like the silky smoothness of 4

Where's your gorgeous model, the bath seems a littel empty without one :)

Nah really, not that i like them much but i do love the dark mood you have been able to create. For me, the theme is greater than the subject.

Leigh

Only one that appeals to me is #4.

Matt - If Leigh had a naked female in the house they wouldn't make it to the bathroom.

I like them. They have a lovely mood about them. I would have liked to see something in the bath...but I'm not sure what. Not a duckling.

Rather depressing, but nice in their own way.

3 points - 1 I love the sombre nature of these shots - 2 thank God you did not make this a self portrait session and 3 - you have bunnies :wink: :lol:

Actually Chris... the only dust bunny is on the third shot on the bath tub edge... it kind of looks like a grey indentation on the porcelain.

The blackish spot in the water is part of a reflection of the tiles on the water... see?

The first three do it for me.

Every looks soft and dreamy whereas the last image feel like it doesn't belong for some reason.

Hi Leigh. I really like the mood of these images, except the last, don't really like that one much.

I think you've caught an everyday scene and given it a mood that is truly your own and very unique to you. I think these are some of the best shots of yours that I've seen (in my opinion.)

Cheers,
Owen.

That’s the one I meant - I should always check my singular and plural application :lol: :lol:
