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.

Took this picture of my 1 year old tonight. Just loved his new haircut I gave him and wanted a cute photo, didn't think I would get one like this though. What do you think? 2 different PP, straight B&W conversion and the other B&W softened quite a bit. I personally like the 2nd.

Wish I checked the settings though. Took some e-bay pics the other night and changed to low res. Forgot to change it back.

I really love the effects on the second photo. If feels much warmer.

Second one is sensational, a real keeper.

P.S. I thought I started young on the piano, playing fairly difficult classical pieces at age 7, but 1 year old is ridiculous! :lol:

Wow I really like the second conversion! A little detail gets lost in with the pp, but really makes up for it in the warmer tones imo..

Thanks guys... just received my new Manfrotto tripod and head today (055XPRO and 322RC2) not sure about the head... I guess I'll get used to it. Does anyone have this grip head? Which orientation do you have it mounted? Looking for some pics with tripod and head in use but can't find any.
