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.

Thaddeus,

There is no more images in this series. This one shows everything I want to say about living in Tokyo. It is kind of statement, one image serie :)

I like this shot a lot . I love the silhouette of the people and the neon sign looks nice and sharp :D .
Maybe give it just a slight saturation/contrast boost to lift it a little .

Thaddeus,

Propably I should mention it at the beginning. Sorry for trouble.

Drifter,

I am not sure if busting saturation wil do good. It seems on my computer that it is about right, allready quite colourfull. I recon that busting saturation would make to look this image a bit fake, plastic. I like colour, but also there is a line where more colour will not work better.

If this is possible I would be happy others user opinions about colour and saturation.


Ipv6ready,

I think you have captured Tokyo very well. It is just how i remember it.

You have picked a difficult image to expose but have done a good job of it. I do feel that the bright lights of the shop are too overexposed though and perhaps if you shot it in RAW you may be able to tone it down a little as a layer in PS.

But you have captured the mood of the city which is what you intended.

I like this shot (and concept) a lot, BUT there is one flaw with it; all of the signs are in english!
There's nothing to indicate that this is actually Tokyo. I'd probably assume it was New York or another large city if it weren't for the title.

Just being picky - great shot otherwise!
