flying high

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.

Great shot there jerrysk8. Magazine stuff. Love what you have done with the green colour.

What lens did you use to shot this one?

Regards,
Bill

Ten points to the actual photographer then! The image was shoot on a 120 camera although I am unsure as to which one ... possible a blad however it may have been a Mamiya 6.

Nice shot here, unusual blending of T-shirt and white background make for an unusual image, Max

This is very cool. The green treatment really gives the shot that skate mag feel. I like the way you have framed the skater between the trees. Great action and movement capture.

Great shot, I'm not sure I love the green though. It sort of tears away from the cement color and his skin tones, as well as blending him in with the sky.

Absolutely perfect moment though. Really well caught.
