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.

Good to see some more shots from your Geoff. I have to say, while both a good shots, I prefer #1 its a lot more engaging, and is a very endearing shot, just beautiful.

Looking at #2, I think while it has captured a lovely moment between the two, her right eye is freaking me out. It a little too far left, and really jumps out on me.

The treatment on both works well, IMO, thanks for sharing.

beautiful geoff

the first one has a really nice feel to it the blown highlights in the background give the picture such an ethereal quality
good thing too is the expression it's natural and beautiful

The clothes remind me of a piece in the new Fred Bare summer range

very beautiful and fashionable work - yeah!

#1 by a mile. A really engaging capture of your niece(?) and the B & W conversion really gives a nice ethereal feel to the image.

Great feel to both these images Geoff but I find one much more engaging and visually satisfying. Terrific captures.

Geoff,

The first image is just beautiful. The second looks a little contrived - the models don't look like they've quite relaxed in front of the lens.
