Feet 1st

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.

My daughters Feet on her 1st Birthday :D

Probably a bit too dark for most, but I wanted to give it that "Arty Farty Feel "

Mic. :wink:

Am I missing something here; I only see a foot? :)

Mice work, Mic; I like the texture that you've captured, which is suggestive of great lighting technique on this one.

Sorry Mic - I am going to go against the grain on this one. Conceptually a great pic but the PP is very much overdone and as a consequence the softness of a childs foot has changed into something that looks a bit like my foot and I’m 60 :roll:

Thanks Kerry, :wink:

Glennnnnn DOH :?

Gary, Mice, Mice where are the Mice Aarrrhhhh :o There is another foot in the background. I should have made it a bit lighter.

Chris, fair point, I suppose it does look a tad bit oldish :wink: ( Not that I'm saying 60 is old now ) :?

Mic. :wink:
Gees, I wonder what it will look like then when she's 60 :shock:

Ok, Mic. You wanted more critique....so, here is mine!

I love this photo, but I am a sucker for B&W and children/baby pics!

I think the composition and lighting is wonderful, but I think it is a little too black! I also think her foot does look a little too wrinkly (needs a good dose of moisturiser!), but otherwise I love it!!

Hope this helps??

I really like this high contrast black and white style and the subject is excellent.

The only thing I'm a little uncertain about is the neon type glow that the fingers in the background receive due to the PP.

That said, the lighting is great and I think its a good shot mate.
