Well, it's been roughly 15months since I last visited this forum, as I had a degree to finish and a career to start (you lot are a dangerous distraction).

Nevertheless, here are 3 images I would love you to critique.

The Portrait
This was just a random shot taken at a party. And yes, it was a complete mistake, I dialed in the wrong value on the SB800 and it blew it out. But, I quite like the result.


The Passion
I love working with the harshness of tungsten stage lighting, especially when contrasting colours are used. From a support act of a gig I did in Katoomba. This young trumpet player not only had chops, but was a lyrically beautiful improviser.


The Play
Again with stage lighting, but extremely low light, was a challenge and a half. Not sure how well this shot works: Does the black emptiness work? Should I crop? Is the blue light a distraction? This was of a play that I produced (The Real Inspector Hound - Tom Stoppard).


Please critique away.

Wow, well welcome back and while I like the last on the best, there is something I like about all the images.

I love the last one - including the empty dark space and the light.. I'd be tempted to clone that wooden floor to the bottom left of the image in black though just to even it out..

I like the last one, natural looking and lifelike. I'd leave the crop as is

I quite like them all! I hope you didn't blind the poor girl in that first shot!

I'll be different - I prefer the first two! I like the third one as well but the first two draw me in a lot more.
