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.

I was at a gig last weekend at the Harp in Tempe watching two groups... The Arseclowns and The Model School... and here are some of my images from them.

The Arseclowns had two special guest stars during their performance... my Mum and Elvis!

I like the B&W - it works well on some of these images witht he contrasting of the dark BG and the white faces of the musicians. The slight motion blurring in some of the shots is also quite nice. BTW - Elvis is dead.

Great photos. I love your style Leigh. The B&W conversion gives it a 60's Rolling Stone look. (Not that i remember the 60's.) :)

Oh and that's definately not the real Elvis unless he's been on a diet. He's got the moves though by the look of the pics. I really like the one where he is virtually holding out his hand towards you. Great portrait.

I am still laughing at the name 'Arseclowns'. I suppose it's better than 'Arsebandits.' Judging by the hats, I am guessing they are a country music band?

The name of their band is more like "Los Payasos Del Asno" but in English, they're The Arseclowns. :)

Leigh. A great bunch of shots from what would have been quite a difficult shooting environmen - and the monochrome is the perfect treatment. Who said all those lessons hadn't paid off? Is that your mum in #2 - the beard looks familiar :wink: :lol:

I'm really impressed with these Leigh. Still trying to acheive anywhere near this clarity in low light.
You really nailed the gritty atmosphere.
