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.

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.

Here are three shots from the latest roll of film through the Leica, Matt B has some he should post when he can that he took (some really nice ones).

I personally really like the Bus Lane, and so far have chosen to show the entire frame rather then crop or clone out the little hints of objects around the edge of the frame.

The Block has had a little perspective correction on it, care of a 1am tutorial from Stubbsy I can now fix my architecture and make my lines straighter.

And the other is a shot Katie hates, but I don't mind it.

Man, I would love to buy an old Leica.

I liked how the processed was done on the second pic. Has a 'metropolis' look about it

Nice mate, it's sad that I won't be seeing the Leica around the office any more!

Love the Bus Lane.

i think the Leica camera is god but the way it makes you feel to hold such a crafted camera probably pushes you to take more time in composing yoru image so in that sense if the camera inspires the photographer its a great camera
this is analagous to driving a shitbox toyota compared to drivign a bmw
your state of mind changes

i like the meaning and composition and lines of 1st
great victorian tone on the 2nd where the hell is that buildign its cool

and katie reminds me of some classic portrait shot just cant remember right now
