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.

we took lots of pics of Abby (now 3 months old) over Christmas & New Years. She's such an awesome little girl, sleeping about 7 hours a night, and a little bit during the day. The life of the party at Christmas!

All tuckered out on boxing day: 50mm - f/4.5 - 1/100 - ISO 200 - natural light, taken by my wife.

Drying off after a bath: 50mm - f/4.5 - 1/160 - ISO 200 - natural light from the window above her head.

Great stuff Matty, I really enjoy your photos of Abby.

Alicia is retraining Alex to sleep for longer during the nigh, but it is amazing how fast they grow. We saw his cousins in Brisbane over the Christmas period, including a 3 week old cousin who was absolutely tiny, yet about the same dimensions as Alex when he was the same age.

Very nice photos.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

cheers everyone!

they have both been printed small, but #1 is my desktop picture on my laptop and #2 is the wallpaper on my phone!

Pat, it is very amazing how fast they grow - my sister had a baby boy just after Christmas, and he was heavier than Abby when he was born - yet he seems so tiny next to her, and he feels pretty light compared to her. Putting Abby beside him, he looks like a baby and she looks like a little girl. It's only been 13 weeks, but there's so much change!
