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.

Following on from my kid modeling thread... I decided to play with the rockstar image some more.

Ended up making it into a promo card which I may or may not use :lol:

What do you think as a promo card? At least it is a little different :lol:

Different it is Andrew (cute pic too), the concept is there but when I think rockstar though, I think sex, drugs and rock n roll. :? :shock:

Whilst I can see a connection between the kid and a rock n roll 'look' I don't think it's enough to REALLY link the two. If there were a prop like a guitar or drum sticks in the image, then perhaps.

Also, at least on my LCD the kid's right hand shoulder/tummy looks blown and blends into the background too much, but it could be the monitor I'm looking at.

My two cents worth.

nice work but as Geoff said, not sure about the perception of linking rockstar and children together...could try superstar :)

Also only critique is that the kid has no hands...

Yep, the shoulder/tummy are blown but I was not too concerned about that, it is all about the look on his face. Having a mic or drum sticks would have been good but then I don't think I would ever have gotten the shoot working with kids AND props :lol:

That is becouse he only had a nappy on and I didn't want it in the shot :lol:

We were just getting a shot which highlighted the beanie and ended up with this as one if them.

Andrew, love the concept. For reasons Geoff has noted, I don't think this is the shot to use, but very much like your concept.

Really... you don't think he looks like he has just stepped out of Seattle :lol:

Nah, that is cool. As mentioned this was not going to be for everyone. I cna see it working in an Ed Hardy store though 8)

Maybe I will revisit this again some day. It is good to target different audiences every now and then.
