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.

Hey Guys,

My girlfriend and I are really starting to get into photography together. We went out on the weekend and thought we'd share this one. Our first attempt at cross processing.

Any critiques from you guys would be much appreciated as we are only new to this.

Overall, I like what you have done here.
However, I feel the blues are just a little too saturated. Especially on LHS guy. Try toniung them back just a little

Great stuff! :cheers:

My first thought when I saw this was, that color might not be necessary to tell this story. Have you tried BW or sepia or eqvivalent?

I hope you still have that missing nose (on the dog) on the original. Would be nice to include it... :wink:

Thanks guys for the comments.

I'll definitely try pulling the blues back a bit.

I might also see how it looks in BW and Sepia. Will post again if it looks any good.

Unfortunately I lost the dogs nose =(
