Introducing....... PaulMac

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.

Hiya,

Here is the photo of PaulMac taken using his Grad blue filter and Wayne providing the off camera flash support. I have done a bit of PP, my PP skills are amateurish at best. I should have composed the pic better.

ewww. Geez I look happy!

The off-camera flash certainly provides an interesting light.

So far you've been outdone by Camrak's (really nice) picture of me, looking in frustration at the soft results I've gotten so far from my new 450D and 18-200 Sigma lens. One of them has to go back, as soon as I can find out which one to blame!

I like this photo of PaulMac. OK, the horizon is not straight, there's an island sticking into his head etc, but it's different. Well done I say, AND he's a Canon user.. :D

I like that you have also captured the young boy's friend Wilson floating in the background :D

Yeah first shot is cool with the blues blending in the BG. I also noticed Wilson and thought you placed it there :)

the setup for the shot was Wayne's idea. Turned out really well I think.
