Anzac Day! - Finally got around to processing my files!

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.

That second image is a very powerful, emotional scene, well captured...

I lose detail in the shadows but not sure if that's what you were after... Also might have tried to get the guys at a shallower angle, I didn't notice the second guy at first and was wondering what was on the front guy's right arm until I noticed "Oh, that's a guy standing behind him" :oops:

The last one's good too, just watch out for blow-outs and distracting backgrounds on a portrait type of shot...

Welcome to the forum, enjoyed your pics, look forward to seeing more... :)

Those are some interesting shots, Lukster. The 2nd and last are very good, IMO. :)

i think these are some great photos
but i think what doesn't work is the poor shadow detail and blowouts in the person head and suit. might wanna pull back on the contrast - more yellow less red.
