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.

The subject says it all. Any preference. I can't decide and in fact have decided I like both, but then I'm biased since I took the shot. Getting the B & W right was a real PITA (spent 20 mins vs about 5 for the colour one) and I'm finally happy with the result. Click a pic for a larger version.

Don't make me choose....

Both have terrific appeal, Peter, due to the composition. Either works for me.

(PS - hope the wisdom teeth came out without too much of a struggle..)

For me its the colour by a long shot. The B&W is spolit by the "white blotch" towards the top of the photo. Its not that apparent in the colour version. The framing is great.

Glad to hear you're in one piece Peter after your wisdom teeth were pulled!
These are both great images however I prefer the vibrance of the colour one. Thanks for sharing..
I'm going out VERY early tomorrow morning to get some nice beach shots hopefully :).

Looks like colour has the majority.

Thanks for your comments.

Re: the wisdom teeth - either I'm lucky or had a very good surgeon. My upper two came out Friday PM. Since then I haven't taken any pain killers and have only a dull ache. My face is swollen but not bruised (yet). Only real problem is eating.

I guess the votes for B & W here confirm my dilemma with this pic. Thanks for your comments.
