Fun with the boys

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.

Great expressions, very nicely taken. I can see they are used to being in front of Grandpa's camera :)

And the sharpness in that first image is outstanding.

Thanks Dave. Yes, they've been photographed a tad over the years. Taken at F1.4, the older boy's eyes are tack sharp. Unfortunately at that FL, junior is a bit out of focus but I don't think it detracts from the image.

Love the second image!! The look of the youngest is just total adoration of his big bro!! Such great joy captured. Well done!! I don't mind the f1.4 on the first image. I like it as it separates the boys from the background perfectly. :)

I too like the second photo best. You captured a magic expression of admiration/adoration to the elder brother? I also like the first one with those cheeky smiles. I don't know what you told them, but it certainly ticked them. Very well done. Providing you don't print the first photo too large you can get away with that little out of focus.
