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.

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.

First In Church Attempt

I was asked to photograph a very nice young boy with cerebral palsy when he was making his first communion. The in church light was not as good as where im used to be shooting (outdoors) but i think they turned out okay. I am just looking for any comments or criticisms that could help me improve this type of shooting.

All shots were iso400 and around f3.5ish. I used a slight bounce flash off the roof, but i still needed to increase the exposure around .5 to 1.2 ev in some cases.
