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.

Great images wendellt, the shutter speed adds a bit of extra interest for me. Are you required by publications to minimize your photoshop manipulation or are you limited by time, or just prefer to keep it the way it was?

despite the danger of being overly positive, i have to admit that this set is my favourite out of the few that you ahve posted today. The colours are a bit strange, the zoom effect works well. Rear sync flash?

Those are some intriguing visuals! :up:

I have to say, though, that #3 doesn't quite work for me, despite the gorgeous colours. The sculpture seems to overpower the model, and to me it feels as if the image would be better without her :shock:

Cheers
Steffen.

Hi
usually i photo shop my fashion images alot but recently thought i should just minimise it because of tiem constrainsts and the fact that the slow shutterspeed effect is abstract theres room for artisitic expression and it's not so much a polished piece.

i used rear sync flash

the sculpture picture does overpower the model but as an editorial set it gives context to the scene

thankyou for the comments
