Impromptu

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.

As I was taking this picture at the Triennium in the Brisbane Modern
Art Gallery, when a young girl full of joy and grace entered the room
from my right dancing and doing pirouettes in mid-air.

Unfortunately, and you always get these unconsidered people, one
moved into the frame from the right with the gawkiest look in his face
even more pronounced by the blur of the camera slow speed and
another entered the frame from the right, which I had to crop out. So,
what you see here is the mid-session of the photo.

Thats very cool Zafra - I kinda wish she was little closer/larger in the frame and further from the wall but it's a great capture of a moment none the less

Wonderful. Not sure if a closer figure would have added or detracted from the image. I like the perspective, gives it the mysterious, voyeur style that works perfectly.

It reminds me a little bit of this one I took in New Amsterdam about 18 months ago:

Zafra
There is something delightful...whimsical, about that image. The lightness of being. You caught something special there.

Thank you Matt. I also like like Murray's; the unintended
becomes the main focus of the photo and what makes the
picture.
