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.

Tony,

Would I be correct in suggesting that these have been shot using auto wb? If so, may I ask why? When you're using studio lights, you have everything under your control - the wb, the lights' intensity .... you should be shooting manual wb and exposure, and thus taking control of the situation, and reducing your PP workload into the bargain.

As Alan has pointed out, there are wb issues in these images - each of them is different. And none of them seem to be correct, although I do think the first is probably the closest to what the reality might be.

While the concept in the third is good, there is a mark on the foam that is distracting, and considering the proposed usage for these images, probably not a desirable artifact.

Thanks Gary & Alan
I think I had the wb on flash and was in manual mode still learning this flash setup
You are right the first is the closest and her mother & sue love it. I do'not like the wb of it
I like the second one and yes it does have hot spots which I have toned down abit
The third is a steel sculpture which I had her stand behind and you are right about the rust spot
I have only used this setup twice first to take shot at xmas of the family who came down from outback Qld and were not that good.
With this set it was much better from the first set.
