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 was bored tonight and started playing around with some processing in Aperture, I was aiming to get that High-Contrast film look. Without overdoing it, too much. One is a reprocess of a shot, the others I took with this technique in mind.

Here are the results, would really like to hear the C&C on these.

(All were shot with my D2x, and Sigma 30 1.4 in ISO 800 for the 'grain'/noise feel)

Really enjoy #1 and #2, however the others don't work for me as I'm not a big fan of tilting my head :)

Processing in the first works wonderfully, and it's an interesting shot. To really set it off it would have been nice to see the deli operator behind the counter looking towards you or yelling out about his product etc.

The second one is simple, yet interesting.

cheers

The first is great, and the second is not bad also, I think you achieved what you were going for :)

The last three don't really have the grain/contrast look like the first two.
