Where are my glasses?

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.

I like the concept. See some commercial uses for it. Nice one...

I came back to this a couple of times, liking the image but thinking something was distracting. I'd like to see it in b&w.

I found teh same and could not quite put my finger on it.

However I reckon the composition could be adjusted to help the viewer (bear in mind this is just me) and lead them in, I think having a leading line of sorts and separating the image into thirds would work, heres what I am thinking, based on your image - usual comments apply, if you want it removed just say so.

Image

The OOF disappearing third on teh bottom left and the opposing dark third on teh top right balance the image out and the edge of teh paper leads and the focused area draw the viewer in, the tight crop ( not by choice in my case :) ) gets more in ya face. Thoughts, comments?

on a side note Chris, that image

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

Simple and excellent Chris. You don't work for OPSM do you? If so, some of our referees could use some help... :)
