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.

the boys are now almost 6 months. time flies when you;re having **cough cough** fun.

the first 2 were shot by my almost 4 yo lucas. the game was to make sure the red square was right on their eyes before he hit the shutter. his hit rate was about 10%. not bad...i can see a d3100 coming his way i think.

I like 2, 4 & 3 but I find the eyes in 1 mesmerising.
We all know that the eyes of the subject need to
be sharp, but in this case, I believe they are a
major distraction to the child's interesting facial
expression and his/her pleasant face.

I am not sure how you could fix this.

Actually since you mentioned, Zac would look also fabulous
and very funny with a pair of large sunnies.

Sorry, I did not realised that it was taken by the 4 years old
Lucas. Somehow I thought you took them.
