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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Wendell, as Steve says lighting is great and as usual you have captured some lovely images.

I prefer the last shot - the pose, colour - well composed. There is one detracting aspect in this shot for me though - the weird, sort of horizontal wrinkles in the lower portion of the dress - probably caused by her under garment selection. And it is still mt pick of the shots.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Beautiful shots and model Wendell.

The 2nd shot her right underarm looks over PP'd to my eye though, almost too smooth or something, doesn't look very real if you know what I mean?

Hi Wendell,

All beautiful images. No. 3 is my favourite - beautiful pose, composition and lighting.

great work Wendell
I like them all... but have a small problem with the first, there is to much background detail and it is competing with the dress (I assume the fashion is the reason for the shoot) less shadow on the dress to make it stand out a little and blur the transition of the backdrop to floor

My favourite would be the last. The colour of the dress suits the mood. :D

Wendel
You certainly know how to make material look exciting. And as some of those who might see the images don't realise...it's all about the fashion!

Great stuff. When I look at your style, it draws my eye to the patterns in the outfits, not the lighting itself. Some are harsh edges in the pleats, and others are soft fabrics that you just want to run though your fingers. very nice.
