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.

Musical instruments

Postby Geoff M on Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:20 pm

I am attempting a photo a day project this year. It is going OK so far, but their have been a few days where it is a last minute rush to get it done due to every day life basically and the challenges it throws at us!

Anyway, I had a run of doing some images of musical instruments which I have included here. Thanks for looking :D

I like the first and third images! The mono treatment works well!

I have been doing a 365 as well....sadly I have been putting up very plain, shot for a shot's sake images....I feel like I am going to run out of inspiration very quickly. Hope you keep it up!

I like the 2nd one, it tells more of a story.
I'm not sure about the colour in the 1st one. It reminds me of a bad mono print from a shoddy bulk outlet store. To be more specific, I think the problem is that my mind does not relate green to the subject.

Hey Geoff,

I agree with Gadgit re: green tint. Doesn't resonante ( :lol: ) with the guitar... Perhaps sepia or BW?

#2 is quite nice with the bold contrast. Try a square crop for this?

#3 beautiful tones on this one. :cheers:

I don't know what the parameters for the
project are, but I agree with the above
and I feel you can improve #1 by selecting
another two tone combinations; while I
think the 3rd one could do with more contrast
and the 2nd one with less sharpening.
