Getting it wrong!!!

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.

Sensational picture. Everything about it is perfect. The expressions on the kids faces, except the kid getting hit, it's super sharp, the colour saturation is really appealing.

Great pic.

Excellent, quirky image. Expressions and colour are all combined to produce a "decisive moment".

Sharp as a tack! I love the look on the other kids faces thinking "oh no, do I really have to do that".

Great photo. Sharp and real lifeish

I marvel at the child with his finger in his ear and eyes shut (doesn't want to hear the sound or see anything maybe) and the other child in traditional soccer penalty shot hands crossed protective pose looking very worried. The child getting hit looks anything but worried and seems to be laughing!
Would make great prints, something the kids and their parents would enjoy!
Well done
Cheers

Hehehe, that photo reminds of the comic Calvin and Hobbes, particularly the one where Calvin is showing Hobbes how to play soccer and ends up face-butting the ball.

How about sending in a full size shot of your atavar photo. It looks just as interesting.

Hi Barry
The cat image was one I found on the web - it was only a small image to start with and not the best quality - it just seemed to fit in to the username I wanted - a play on my initials!!

Great shot cc@t.

I would love to know what the kids behind him were thinking, I bet they were glad he stopped that ball with his head though. :D
