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.

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.

This was going to be another entry for the three comp.... but rules state no more than two members can recognise who you are....
This might be a bit too over the top for some people... but hey... i like it  It's amazing how difficult it is to take self portraits... takes a lot more time working out lighting/shadows/fstops etc etc...
Here's some more playing in the studio, this time with boot polish involved. I have been in a bit of a dark mood this evening and thought i would reflect this. I hope you enjoy.
Picture looks a little soft... but that's just the jpg conversion from a very large file.
Comments/critique/criticism appreciated and expected.

Mark - you've never looked so good!
Interesting concept and I like the shots. How long did it take to get the boot polish off? (Did you use orange peel? That usually works a treat.)
Are triptychs allowed in the comp though??

Wives only enjoy the bruised and battered look if they're the ones who dished it out!
Enjoy your "Day at the Races".

I have edited the shot so that the center frame is mirrored... in the original the first and second frame were looking the same way.

Mark, I found these hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing upon seeing them. Hopefully you'll understand I'm not laughing AT you.

great shots.......maybe just a back light on the head to lift it out of the black hole, about 1/4 strength, so you can just see the hair line......
