Movement & Colour

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.

#1 - Great concept but just hate her left foot, it looks awkward. Maybe this one could be cropped up!

#2 - Love it. Motion, colour and subdued abstract shapes make this a winner

#3 - Like the concept but I feel that the lighting could have been much better.

#4 - not sure on this one

#1 :agree: with hating the left foot in this one, but it does do a great job of catching the eye. CROP maybe
#2 My favourite, really captures the movement and keeps me interested
#3 Nice concept, well executed, but seems to lack something, not sure what though
#4 :agree: not sure about this one either

As always, awesome work!!! I have never seen any of your work that I havent said/thought to myself 'I have to give that a go'.

Dan.

Get concept and congratulations on some well thought out images. Love number 2 and 3. Cant fault either. Disagree with sirhc55 and feel the lighting in this series is spot on and packs a real punch. My take on number 4 is a believe the angle the picture is taken on is all wrong. May work if you crop just her head into the top left corner of a 4 * 6. Just my thoughts anyways.

Well done

Your sense of colour in this series is just perfect. Some nice technical work here, they really stopped me in my tracks. Nice work!

Nice stuff mate... I have some better pictures of another model which I will pst soon ;) (you know what I am talking about... LOL )

Can't say there is too much, if anything I don't like about these. I like the texture you used in number 1 but would it be better if it was not over her foot? Also in number 2 I find the no parking sign a little distracting, might look better cloned out as you still get the urban alleyway feel without it.

Looks like it was a fun shoot though :)

Cheers.
