Portrait of my wife.

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.

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.

Portrait of my wife.

Hey guys,

I took this portrait of my wife the other day. All the shots turned out blurry as the shutter speed was too slow, but I think I managed to salvage this in photoshop.

Also the second one is just something a little different.

Cheerio.
Owen.

owen, the first one is great. Your wife is an excellent photographic subject - her spark really comes through.

I don't like diagonals much as in #2, but I have raved on about that quite enough in other threads.

You rescued it well - if indeed it suffered from handshake. I can see you've selectively sharpened her eye and inadvertantly her forehead in #1. ;)

Like Greg, I don't care for the 45 angle either, but it's a personal dislike. The subject against a plain grass/field works well for outdoorsy portraits. However you've romanticised blurred the grass and not your wife! ;)

Thanks Onyx. Yeah I blurred the whole pic then undid the eyes and hair... I may have got the forehead in there but I didn't mean it - honest!

As with the second pic, like I said it was just something different, nothing I'm especially proud of or anything :)

Thanks for all the comments.

Your wife is kind to let her photo be put up. I don't think my wife would allow me.
