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.

The quite dignity, poise and confidence of these subjects is evident in the images. They are simply beautiful.

The first two are simply awesome! Their composition, posing and post processing shows absolute mastery. :bowdown:

Andy, has alot of character and you have brought it out in your photo.

The third lady showed me the controls of the 40D. Apparently she has one too. :mrgreen:

1st and 4th are simply stunning, great idea on the BW conversion, works a treat - I will have to have a look at BW on some of mine - top work. :cheers:

fyi, andy was our first subject - broke the ice nicely...

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Redux - I have a book by Greg Friedler, a New York photographer, who took people off the street into a NY loft and photographed them in their normal street clothes and then naked. The book is called Naked New York and after looking at some of the shots taken in Newtown it reminded me of these NY shots.

The beauty of all of the Newtown shots is that the people portrayed are REAL and that‘s very special.
