Walkies!

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.

While I was walking around with a camera around my neck
on a park taking pictures of fountains and statues, I noticed
this lady walking her baby...

Thanks for the comments. Initially, I thought the lady ahead
of me was taking her baby for a bit of sunshine and fresh air
in the park, later I realised her age meant it had to be either
a grandchild or a baby trust to her care, perhaps she was a
nanny. Later she stopped and took out of her pram this cat,
attached a lead to its collar and carefully put the cat on the
ground. I was fascinated by this behaviour as I had never
seen anything like it, specially in Spain where animals are
treated like animals and not people.

The photo was taken in RAW and I cropped it in a square
format. Then I used the post crop vignetting in the lens
correction tab of the Raw utility to make that soft vignette
to direct the attention to the main subject.
