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.

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.

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.

Haven't posted an image for a couple of months, so;

Don't think I quite nailed the focus though.

Hi

Nice shot there. I like it. The focus was on the eye, isn't it? I had the same problem. We need more DOF to get the whole head in focus.

regards,

Thanks for your comments Arthur, Matt K, Big pix, bp and mic

I'm not sure where the focus point was here. IDuring periods of inactivity my camera defaults to closest subject rather than single area. Personally, I hate closest subject, but it seems that this is the default. Single area would be a better default for me.

Anyway, Ceesar is a good subject when he is in a good mood, his modeling fees are very cheap and so there will be more photo opportunities in the future! :D

Cheers
