Poster Hell

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.

I like it Chris... which is strange for me. :P

It's got your 60's & 70's sense of photography in it.

It's simple but groovy. I really like the top left where the eyes are looking out back at you.

I'm a bit torn on this image, but that probably doesn't make a shread of difference to the quality of it :)

Great photo, I love it. I think the best thing about it is that you saw the potential for the shot. Most people, like me, would have walked straight past and not noticed. It's a lesson to keep our eyes open for the unusual.

I think that Bluebell has got it right. We all need to walk around with our eyes open. Well spotted Chris. Oh and I know what you mean about being a little frayed around the edges :lol:

Unfortunately, this image doesn't do a lot of me, but I can understand why others may like it.

I frequently look at something, think "That would make a great photograph" and then walk on. :roll:

I see those torn up shreds all the time Chris. Now at least I can show the kids what they are doing to me.

Well spotted and captured
