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.

Thought I'd throw up a picture of my 14 month old girl Sofia for comment.

Any comments (constructive criticism welcomed) would be appreciated.

Thanks - Vic

Love the shot ... very cute and mischevious at the same time! :)

Constructive criticism: How much PP did you do, the highlights look a little blown out to me? Or maybe my eyes are just weary... long long day....

Well done..

actually Xerebus - I think you are right. I tend to be lazy and use the "auto fix" for contrast and brightness and colour and only reject if it is too over the top. I think I need to become a bit more discriminating and do the manual thing a bit more.
Thanks for the motivation to do so.

Lovely expression.

Regarding the highlights, I'm also observing that the reds appear to be a little blown. This is of interest to me because at one of the bars I shoot at, the lighting is predominately red, and if my exposues are too generous, I'm seeing something similar.

And (finally) with the band shoot I did on Subday, one of the players was wearing bright red, and again, I've seen a tendancy towards blowing out in the red spectrum.

Interesting ...
