Bowl it like Warnie

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.

Nice capture, though would prefer a simple frame. If the young bloke really wanted to look like Warnie he would be sms some young girl on his mobile

I guess I have to comment on this one, given the subject of the pic!

I love shots of kids playing cricket, and this one is no exception. The expression and body language on the bowler is fantastic.

Small criticism - I can't be absolutely sure at this resolution, but I don't think the shot is focused correctly.

But I think it's great. :D (I am ignoring the frame.)

Yes Cricket Fan, the boy with his back to the camera is right in focus, the bowler is just out.

In the heat of the moment, I didn't look to see what the camera was focusing on.

What frame?

Good shot - very serious that bowler. Teach 'em young to keep a steady stream of pom beaters coming through the ranks!

excellent timing! personally, i would have framed it a lot wider. to me, the whole direction of the shot is from left to right, so i suggest at least half as much again on the right, even if it's empty space. a good companion shot would be of the batsman getting ready to hit. they could be mounted a distance apart, letting the viewer fill in the space between them. good stuff
