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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Just 2 weeks ago, i had the unique opportunity of being able to go to Vietnam, as a part of a small year 11 school group (only 16 people).The trip was structured so we could truly understand the living conditions, and the people of Vietnam. We were able to do things that i don't think too many other westerners would have been able to do. We had a very rare visit to World Vision village in remote Vietnam, we were able to meet local university students, and had the opportunity to visit another remote Vietnamese school and teach the students English, and play games with them. It was overall an amazing experience, and i'm sure that i will post many more photos of it. Well about the photo now. It was taken at an SOS village in Vietnam. The children in this village were ones who did not have any parents. The children had either been abandoned, or had their parents pass away recently. They are taken to this SOS village, where they are raised by a SOS mother. One mother to 11 children in a house. It is an amazing program that has been setup for these children. Despite their tragic situation, these children do not seem so show sadness. Was taken with my D300, Nikkor 18-200mm VR, SB-800 bounced off the (brown) ceiling.

WB is probably a little off. I think it adds to the photo.
