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.

Wow thats quite in your face. You might want to go for a more neutral background so you don't have distractions back there (like the lounge). One day you might use a tele focal length and wide aperture to defocus it but for today you could simply compose the image with something simpler like a blank wall, open sky, etc there. I'm assuming given the noise in the image this was taken indoors in darker ambient light at high ISO - perhaps try near a window with indirect daylight coming in

Yeah it was taken in quite a dark room, had a pretty quick shutter speed and high ISO! I am just starting out with my camera

cute smile and big eyes, you have captured the personality of the animal well, as mentioned, the high iso noise is a bit distracting, but i can get over that since i can see feeling in the image.

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