Politically incorrect

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, you have the look of a number of 70 TV stars captured there. I am thinking maybe Bonner? from Skippy. (he did play other more swashbuckling roles). Great photo.

Good photo and interesting make up on the
subject; perhaps colour would have worked
better but in those days possibly it wasn't the
way to go. Now, what is politically incorrect?
Were you in a political march demonstrating
against the government of the day?

Just a thought, but we could start a thread
called "The Way We Were" with old pictures.
They don't need to be good, some would be
funny or controversial. But, hey we will not
be inviting Captain Hindsight to the party.
And, yes, there would be flares, afro looks
and big medallion on hairy chests, I bet! :D

I think probably more a lean George Lazenby look, the only Aussie James Bond.
