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.

been a while in between posts, but here are a couple of shots from me. i shot this one at a comp, but i really liked the composition and the feel. you can see there are lots of people around, he's nicely separated in the sky and the overcast clouds has given the trees in the background a really cool glow.  this one was for a web interview with ryan (same rider as above). we went street riding and found these stairs. i'm not sure if the ambient is too much, or if it suits. i also think it might be suited to a square crop (with the lightfalloff at the bottom its a bit dead down there), but i'm at work so i can't crop it.  also, sorry about the watermarks on them. they are a bit distateful but were used for a big american website, so i wanted to get a bit of promo out of the shots for myself. cheers body: nikon d200, d70s, f4s, f601. lens:nikon 35-70mm f2.8, 70-300mm f4-5.6, 10.5mm f2.8, 20mm f2.8, 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8. flash: nikon sb600, sunpak 383 (x1), sunpak 555 (x4), pocketwizard plus II (x4) jamesdwade.comdishonourclothing.com

The first one is off the ricta! I would say for the second that i would probably crop the foreground a tad, but other than that - great shots. Just a question - in the second is he kicking his back wheels around cause it doesn't make sense for him to be travelling horizontally between the two railings?
cheers,
James

My guess is he is doing a 360 spin (I am sure there is a much better name for the trick) over the stairs. Great shots. You are spot on with your own comments, the second needs to be cropped from the bottom. Well done in getting in the big american mag, hopefully the phone will call soon with an all expenses paid trip to Cali  Andrew
Nikon D3 and lot's of Nikon stuff!!

Yep first shot is Nikkor 10.5, and the second is my 18-70 kit (RIP).
