When I was 65

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.

I really like your old photos Chris. They always make me wonder what the people in them are doing now. I don't know why because I don't know them! This one actually doesn't look dated to me. It could have been taken last week.

Great feelings from this photo.
I like very much your old photos too.
As Marvin said, if you haven't mentioned that is an old photo,
i would thought that is a new capture :)

Her name is Maureen and she was a real hoot!! Back in the 60’s I was invited to afternoon tea with her parents and boyfriend. As was the custom I took along a gift, in this case brie cheese. No one had ever tasted this type of cheese and Maureen’s first instinct was to smell it - she then uttered the classic line - ”this smells just like sperm” - everyone except Maureen blushed a very bright red :)

That is a great shot Chris, I like it much :D

The lady is about to turn 60s, so looking at the picture she looks like in her 20s, so maybe somewhere around 30-40 years old?

Something in this photo keeps drawing me back to it. I cannot place my finger on it though.

Great work Chris (admittedly quite a few years later than the photo was actually taken, but better late than never :D )
