Angel (NSFW)

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.

A few initial shots from my session with Angel at Glenbrook NP today...

It was all going well until we got buzzed by a police helicopter...

Without giving away my sources, i have been informed that PolAir can hover near the Holsworthy Range, and see what people (who think no one can see them) are doing in the windows of the Brighton Le Sands Novotel... Apparently some people are VERY fond of windows...

Oh, nice pics by the way.

A great set there, the curves really work.

About the chopper....I wonder if they snapped off any shots for themselves?

Thanks Wendell, Gerry, Raskill, Cameron... I was thinking of sending the crew of PolAir 4 a print, so that they know what they interrupted - where are they based?

More images have been uploaded to the Flickr link in the OP... including this one - which is one of my favourites:

Taking another look at you polair shot, the flir is not tracked in your direction (you would see 3 lens openings) so ya safe

so that they know what they interrupted - where are they based?


:rotfl2:

In the top secret hangar 2 doors down from me 8) 8) (bankstown airport)

Taking a look at your images, other than the lovely helichopper :roll: The first one is a standout from my end, the constrasting texture of the rock and the pose of the subject work well, I would only suggest smoothing of the ribs or similiar...
