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.

Hello,

I had the chance to take some photos of a friend of mine
with his guitar in a lake.

I'd love to hear your comments and your criticism.

Very creative, for me the halo glow around the guy is perhaps a little too strong, I think knocking it back a notch or two would make the image less over the top in a PP sense.

That said you have been delivering some creative and unique images recently so keep it up.

This is a great idea Thodorus. I agree with what Craig said about the halo effect.

Postby wendellt on Sat Jan 20, 2007 2:15 pm

this is an excellent example of strong concept and narative in an image
which makes this image more in depth than others without a cocnept
and your execution of it is great

but i seriously think the extra sepia tone is not needed, to me you would do it heaps more justice just leavign it black and white

this image doesn't need extra tricks it's already fantastic

Great photo

Postby surenj on Sun Jan 28, 2007 3:50 am

Nice work here...

Can I ask, Is the guitarist cut and pasted from another image? Is he actually jumping? Hard to imagine how he could have jumped that high unless he is a super basketballer?

Thank you surenj.

It is one photo. He jumped from the boat. I could post some more "jumping" images from this angle. I asked him to jump about 20 times :)

Great Photo Iposiniditos regardless which way you have PP'd it. Its always good to see such a great photo from the D70 and kit lens, it reminds me that you dont always need all the good gear for perfect photos. Mind you Im sure it helps :D

Save writing another post, your Oxymoron set are great.

Cheers
