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.

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.

Hi kfandst

Great first shot. Mine was a disaster but still, in accord with tradition, I bravely posted it here and got a few nice but totally undeserved replies.

On the other hand, your photo is really good. It's in focus, is interesting and has a nice balance to it - and the comments are well deserved.

Well done! :D

Hope you post many more

Cheers

Graham

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I would like to make my own newbie comments on my first shot. Does anyone disagree?

- the white bar in the background is distracting.

- rule of thirds suggests that subject should fall on the grid lines. The subject is shot it the centre. Perhaps a different placement could have improved the compostion?

- there is too much dark area in the background.

- foregound leave not blurred enough.
To buy or not to buy, that's the question.
