Happy Easter

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.

The photograph was taken by Robert C. Fitz-Walter using an instamatic
film camera eight years ago. He suggested to show it as an appropriate
image for the week and asked to make it digital. I scanned it
from the negative, cropped, cleaned and I adjusted the
colour and sharpness in Photoshop.

The Holy Week (Semana Santa) in Spain, and in
particular in Seville is a bombardment to the senses
of colour, music, the occasional songs (saetas) and
people wearing their Sunday best. It is a real cultural and
religious spectacle. Each day at different times religious
images and icons are taken from their church into the streets
in processions and accompanied by their brotherhoods with
great pomp and circumstance.

Thanks. You wouldn't believe the scratches, dust and what looks like hairs on the negative. Obviously the minilab in Spain did not consider dusting or cleaning their own equipment.
