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.

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

Wow. I like that image.

You're really into colour saturation, aren't you?

Me thinks there are some specific film types, some of which I keep stored in our fridge, that you should experiment with. :)

How come the chips have no value written on them? ;)

Good colour scheme - red, blue and white. Traditional American patriotic colours (and you list your location as Canada..?!)

Another red & blue masterpiece. These are becoming your signature colours. This works extremely well. Lighting is good and DOF gives a nice feel.

Well, the French flag does use those colours (and in the order the chips are lined up in) and Canada was a French colony... well, part of it anyway.

There is no royal flush on the table. The top cards with pocket kings wins, cause he's got quads (four of a kind). The bottom cards with the A Q hearts goes all in with the highest possible flush, a very strong hand. But not today, he loses to the quads.

Oh. nice picture by the way. :D

the royal flush (10 J Q K A same suit) is the best hand in poker..it beats the other guy's 4 kings....

Dee - although I like this shot I think it would have been a lot better shot in a cocoon and instead of a low viewpoint and higher one IMO. The reflections in the glass are very distracting.
