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.

The first and second are stunning - great composition.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

I must admit to a preference for the 2nd one. Just enough sharpness where it counts and the softness spreading away soothes the eye and holds the attention in the right spot. Good to see shallow depth of field being used creatively.
The other two are great too. Gotta watch your stuff.
Thanks
Col :D

Where is Mr Freud. I looked at #1 and thought, ahem, willy :lol:

Nice captures there - I like the fly best, DOF on the dick pic is too shallow for me :wink:

Oh, you see nipples Chris, not the same area of the body that came to my mind. :oops: Edited to add I see Stubbsy sees what I saw. :lol:

I love the second one, works wonderfully. The comp, the lighting....the little bit of leaf in the bottom right is a tad distracting but a very nice image.
