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.

Let me paint the scene... My gym had a special competition this morning, followed by a barbeque. I went for the food  The first thing I realised when I walked in was that I should have taken my camera with me. There was excellent morning light from high windows and the "graffiti" on the brick walls in that light was amazing. Fortunately, I did have my iPhone. The iPhone has terrible shutter-lag, so timing was of the essence. Weightlifting is quite dynamic. This is Jimmy, a dark-skinned Scotsman! The weight isn't terribly heavy, but he was doing multiple reps of the snatch movement - 21, 15, 9 - to make up a set. I have done a B&W conversion and added some texture. Unfortunately the image reproduces a bit too dark here. Clicking through to the larger image may give a better result.  In the colour photograph is Marty. This is untouched from the iPhone except for a bit of sharpening. The vignette affect is from the natural window lighting as described earlier. I decided not to clone out the weights, water bottles and skipping ropes because gyms are always untidy!

The black and white far surpasses the colour photo but just imagine what you could have done with the 800  Chris

Agree. The black & white is th shot that nails it.

Sounds like they were doing a Crossfit workout.
B&W has it nailed, composition and mood wise.

21-15-9 sets still kill me but that's another story for another day.
