Il Sole Bello

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.

I like this - great colours. Tiny picky point - a little bit of halation at the edges of the arms, but this may be compression (but I can see it in the larger version)

Quite right... Peter... I was probably a little overenthusiastic with the sharpening... I would redo it, but probably spent half an hour cloning out the background of that one and stupidly did not save the PSD file... :oops:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that forgets to save the PSD and I'm impressed with your work removing the background. I just figured it was against a blue sky.

It was against a blue sky Peter... There was just a bit of distracting background in the blue rectangle under the arm on the left of the photo... there was also a lamppost on the top right... BTW... The reason for the strange angle is that she / he was walking on stilts...
