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.

Hi Chris,
Someone once said it's hard to improve on perfection. Lovely shot, I can't really critique it, as I think it's great. Keep them coming champ!

Chris very very vogue.........but I took the libity of re croping your image {sorry}.Also if you try this it will give you a different look, overall lighten to blow out the background a bit and add contrast more like a pencil drawing with a little tone

cheers Big Pix

Big Pix - you can repost any of my pics anytime no problem.

My comments on your suggestions, and looking at your repost side-by-side with the original, is as follows:

The reasoning behind the use of 12mm was to produce a vanishing point accentuated by shooting low into the subject which I feel has been lost in the repost by you having straightened the left hand side to be parallel to the edge.

I agree to the crop and now realise that some light painting into the statuette would have made a more powerfull impact, but not overkill so as to keep some of the mystery.

Yeah, Chris - that's how I see it too. I think the vanishing point is important, and a little reflected light at the front may have created a bit more depth to the statue.
A nice image :)
