For C&C

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 this image, but not certain about the processing, or if it should be cropped a little, so it's over to you.

Thanks.

I'd crop the top bit just to get the sky out of the shot.. and it looks a little yellow.. on this work (crappy) monitor....

good shot btw... great dof and very interesting.. where did you take it?

Good suggestion, there is only really enough sky to be a distraction.

I'm not seeing the yellow, but I still think it is a solid idea. Also tempted to take of the right hand side, removing the purple and over, just leaving the one person in the background.

It was taken in a small Masai village on the way into the Masai Mara national park. The villages charge a small fee, about AU$2 I think it was, and put on some dances and showed us around their village and huts etc. Pretty cool.

If your going to take most of the background off leaving just the one person you will probably have to also crop a little in closer to the main subject on the left hand side to balance it out...

Yeah the yellow is most likely this monitor... for some reason work wont supply me with a super duper monitor for browsing the net whilst working... *grin*...

and lucky you.. what a fab place to shoot.. *insert jealous smiley here*
