The Freak's Micro-Meet! (Dial-Up Warning)

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

the piano shot is true to your form. It is quite spooky it seems like a ghost is playing. Your impeccable use of black and white and your matured choice of differential focus and dramatic perspective are all very seductive, well done.

6 & 7 remind me of my days as a lad jumping off manly pier into the water turbulence of the Manly Ferry as it left the wharf....... as the girls held our shirts and towels, no brains and happy without them..........but I still like blonds........ I like these shots......... there is hope yet......

Some great images Leigh... A slightly wider version of #1 would have been good, including the guy in full... If only to highlight the contrast between young & old / fit & flab...
Cheers, John

Some great shots leigh, I think I prefer the B&W shots in this series, you did a great job with the rope and the piano I'm keen to compare Exif data as my rope and piano shots are no where near as good.

Checking out your gallery I really like, QVB-BW-001 I think it would fit in well with the B&W series.

Fantastic work leigh. From what I have seen of your work, as soon as you take yourself seriously your images are incredible, and so is your beard :lol:

Leigh, Leigh, Leigh - I looked through all of the shots and thought wow - these are really a different perspective on what ordinary mortals see. However, I do not know whether your shot of the Opera House is a tongue-in-cheek attempt at pleasing the masses with a fairly ordinary shot of a totally over photographed maison - or, you have seen something we have not in this building :roll:

After that minor diatribe you may have guessed that I like them all except for the OH :wink:

Wonderful piano shot, but I want to know what that notice means on the bow of the ferry!

Hey Nnnnsic - you should shoot more in colour! I like the greenish water shot on your 'site better than the shots you've posted I think. :D
Must agree with previous posters about the Opera House shot though - its been done before! (and usually your shots have not been done before!) :wink:

I figured I'd do something normal for a change.

I'll try not to let it happen again. :lol:
