My, my haven't they grown...

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.

had to add this one; trying to get a family photo...i love this cos of its imperfection. it tells the story of our very hectic life right now. to get a "proper" family portrait would be disingenuous. 24-120/4

thanks for looking. hope it made someone smile. :)

(no idea why that 2nd link isnt working ??) - ok working now. :)

lol, that last shot is awesome! you would due well to replicate that again!

I love how everyone is looking in every different direction and with a different facial expression! What I also like is the fact that the child on Chris's side looks more like Chris (with a nice touch or larikin *spelling*) and the child on mum's side looks like her!

I have a pair of bunny ears exactly the same - disturbing :) Thats a good sized bib as well, so many bibs nowadays are stupidly small not worth using. On that note, those suits look good - I like the ones with teh integrated socks too great for those babies that kick off the sheets all the time...

anyway back to teh pictures - that last one, as mentioned is great, i would rate it over some formal sterialised version! :up:

The arms going everywhere (love the one on the head!) bonds this one together I reckon! I can hardly see the remote in your left hand.... Excellent shot!

[Also nice work with combining the ambient with flash]

thanks guys. that is quite a large enlargement at our place now and i must say it feels cohesively out of place with the rest of the enlargements we have. lol its cetainly the one that makes me smile most.

there is no remote release in that one derek, its taken by my brother in law who literally just pressed the shutter; and while id love to collect any accolades for balanced flash, that is quite literally str8 out of camera with an sb800 on TTL. lol

I really like #1. These amazing fast primes are such fun to use. (I'm having a blast with my 50 F1.2).

There's something about these photos of kids. It's a classic.
