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.

I just started taking football pics a week ago (after a 25 year hiatus) and am starting to get the hang of it. Even making a little side money which is always nice. I'd be very curious to hear what you think, both of the photos and the site design. The first batch of photos weren't that great as I was getting used to everything along with a new 70-200vr.

Just a few of my faves:

I think they are great. Very sharp and clear and good colours. I probably prefer the 2nd and 3rd as the faces aren't obscured. The site looks good too - simple and easy to navigate. The only thing I would comment on is that there are 28 pages from one football game. If I was a parent, I probably wouldn't want to look through 400 odd pictures to find my child (it's not possible to see who they are in the thumbnail view). BUT, I'm not sure how you could get around this.

Thanks for the kind words.

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I've thought about possibly taking the time to go through them and putting the jersey number of each photo into the photo comments so that people could then just search.

The other option would be to only post the Top 10 or 20, but then a number of the players would be left out and then those parents would be alienated.

What a quandry.
