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.

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 and second one I'll give marks to, and the first one takes priority, but can I just say that I think you follow in the footsteps for post-processing as the famous sculptor Mattel?

I really don't think you spend enough time on your PP, unless plastic is the look you're going for. Your images of girls just look so synthetic in a way but look... in the 1st image, there's skin detail... in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th... wait?! Where'd it go?! I've got over-PP'd skin! Who toined on the loights?!

And as per usual you're blowing your shadows out, but it is nice to see you might have finally taken control of the highlights.

I agree about the over pp'ing the last two...but then again I don't actually think thats such a bad thing as its suitable for some applications...billboards...comedy ads etc...

I really like the first two btw...

oh and the third one...I am not so sure on the angle as she looks kinda warped if you know what I mean?
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Mate as usual, i think you've done an awesome job.

I really want to move into the glamour side of photography, and im always impressed with ur work!

I don't think i like number 3, only because the model just looks ... uncomfortable.

What sort of light setup do you use? Is it just a single softbox, or is it somehting more elaborate?

I really like the composition of the 2nd image, IMO, the best of the series. One thing that bugs me about it thought (and I don't know if you can avoid it) is the reflection of the softboxes / windows in her glasses.

hi dan

1st one is a really good pose and moment

also technically i think the exposure and tone looks right little pp involved

i like the last one too because it fills the frame but somehow the pose is a bit odd as the model has flowing hair intimating movement but the rest of her body is static, id also centre that image theres no reason for the blank space on the left

your getting better
