Feeling Smiley!

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.

Chris

As reluctant as I am to offer suggestions to someone as good as you - I'd have liked to have seen this one with a colourful background (maybe yellow) to make the image even more playful.

Thanks Chris - hmmm I preferred your original to this :cry:

Maybe no graduated fill just solid yellow? Or maybe you know better than me (not hard!)

I agree Peter - the solid yellow looked false and the graduated did have a feel to it but, like you, I prefer the original - the blue strikes out more

You're right Chris (shoulda known :shock: ) you lose the blue when you have any other colour there. Thanks for humouring me :wink:

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? BTW You're not bad arse anymore you're just spreading FUD. Is that better or worse?

Should I stop asking double barreled questions - Yes or No? :lol:

I was never a bad arse, but more of a hard-arse... although, I should check with Tran and Philo on that as they both signed my arse... perhaps I should be a "signed-arse."

I'm not sure if it looking like CGI is a good thing or a bad thing... it's surreal enough to look like it might have been made in Max or Maya... but it does not look like a photo to me.
