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.

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.

After finding out about this festival here on DSLR users I took my family up for the weekend
it was a great weekend and all the family enjoyed it with the Battles, Jousting and blacksmithing etc there was lots to see and do
I can highly recommend it to everyone
here are a few images
the first (2 versions) is of the battle of Lithgow re-enactment
and this last one is from the blacksmithing competition where the blacksmiths were all given 1m of 16mm square bar and had 1.5 hours to make a snake
(the shot was taken using spot metering on the red hot part of the steel to keep the background dark)
I didn't have much luck photographing the jousting as they kept us too far away for my 75mm lens

even though the 2nd picture has had a fiter applied to make it look older, it still looks .. new and modern. not sure what it is, maybe not such sharp edges (before the border)?
i like the 2nd one, except the hammer (?) could have been sharper.. nice work though. i like them

love how you can see the shrapnel being fired out of the canon (:P)
May try adding some grain to the second one to give it a more authentic feel.
The metering of the blacksmith pic is spot on.

Keith - that first shot is superb in colour. You not only have the smoke, but the fire coming out of the barrell. The monochrome shot loses that and the image is the poorer for it.
