Some recent bodyscapes (NSFW)

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.

A few recent bodyscape images...

Normally I'd publish this sort of image in B&W, but this time, I quite like the colour...

I'd love to hear what you think...

John, this is far from my area of expertise, so as usual, take my opinion with a ship full of salt.

In this case I reckon the choice of going colour over BW was a smart one, the skin colour is quite nice and even and it would be a shame to hide that thru BW.

The second image feels the strongest for me, I say this straight off teh cuff since my eyes got led naturally thru teh picture, i might consider cropping off just a bit on the right side. The other two I found myself lookign all over the image for a focal point or line to follow.

With such great curves I would have loved to see some of those curves and lines lead into the image rather than across the image, even if they ran diagonally. I think that would give them more depth and my eye something to follow.

The lighting is spot on imo, subtle and singular. I also like the sheen of moisture/oil on the skin, nice touch!

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
