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.

This image was for the front page of a certain young ladies swimsuit web site. The whole site was developed with her approving every single move I made. Then, I received a phone call from this ”designer” who asked me for the files. He said that he had approval from the young lady to get them off me - my answer - taking a running jump.

I am a great believer in ”What goes around, comes around”

I say this with the greatest respect coz I just love women - but in my years as a designer if I had problems, it was normally with women clients.

Workflow consisted of constant meetings so that every single step I made was approved - the client got what she wanted but obviously thought I was a complete sucker and would just hand over my work files to a ”designer” - read that as friend of hers. She never paid me but she never got the files and she was informed that if her final website even approached my designs she would flayed :roll:

Absobloodylutely MHD - most of my clients are top name but this one was a friend of a friend - yeah right!

I now have a credo that says ”if you are a friend I will do the job for nothing or my charge is this - up front” - in other words they know from the word go if there is a charge or not.
