Get down and Dirty (@ Womadelaide)

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.

Here's a few from Womadelaide...
What better way to cool down in 40 degree heat than by wallowing in mud..

There's some more in my Womad Gallery
Should have really taken more shots, although I was having more fun just getting amongst it all without gear hanging off me in the heat

Thanks guys,

The kid in photo 2 had more energy than most people that I saw, he kept diving into that mud over and over and over which was great as it gave me heaps of time to go back and get my flash!
Rookie: They had mist tents set up that would get moved around once the ground got a good soaking, they must have left it in this spot for too long, all it took is for two kids to discover it, all of a sudden there was 20 of them... oh and yeah the feet shot is my favourite, wish there was more of them and I didn't have to crop so tight but I was a bit worried about getting a dollop of mud on the lens.

I keep getting a 404 error (page not found) on your gallery link.

Came out of there with a nice combination of grotty-feet, sunburn, and dehydration - beer doesn't really keep you that well hydrated. :cheers: :mrgreen:

How'd you like it anyway?

Thanks for all the comments guys, really makes me wonder why I was so hesitant to post photos in the first place :cheers:

Had a ball as always, heat was a bit much on saturday, but easier to deal with on sunday... managed not to get sunburnt too.
Really dug Tecoma on Sat afternoon not to mention the bigger acts... man Sharon Jones can move.
