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.

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 like image #2, although IMHO the focus should on the top sliced orange.

with #1 you should be able to see whole streets of animal appendages in HK!

What the hell?!
They sell pig heads?!

I think the image need to be brighter, personally. They look too dark on my monitor.

That said, I like the second and the third most of all.

I like #2 as well and agree with bumping up the brightness and focussing on the sliced oranges.

Btw, how on earth did you manage to pull out your camera at Vic Market without the photo police nabbing you? Heard one of the Melb. members was nabbed for taking pics at Vic Market :S

The pig heads remind of Lord of the Flies :D

Genji,

I don't remember who it was but it wasn't a post. It was mentioned in person. I don't want to name names just in case I say the wrong name ;)

thats understandable, but the QVM is a tourist destination, so i'm surprised to hear about it.

Well I'd better delete my original comments so your better half doesnt find out you were with your "other" better half :)

I like the way you've got the pig to look straight at you!

Nice captures, although agree with Leigh, they seem a little dark. Like the oranges, and maybe a little more DOF in the last one (although I guess the lighting would have been against you). There's no EXIF data, so not sure if you bumped up the ISO - that may have helped :)

Also, the border is a little wide for my liking (although I'm sure if you were to look back at some of my earlier pics you'd be scared off by the size of some of my borders! - tastes change I guess ;) ).

Thanks for sharing, hope something I've said helps :)
