Candid Time

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.

Love the hard black and white treatment it works to great affect on this images, not a huge fan of the border but each to their own, the images I think stand on their own merit.

Great images with the perfect treatment. The first two are the standouts - I think lagely because the subjects are trully candid (no sense of an audience).

Thanks again for the kind words. When I was taking these I said to myself "Light and colour is harsh, so a BW set these will be" and with that I was looking for really weather beaten skin or interesting poses. I am really happy with the whole set which comprises about 22 images and as always it is always hard to judge which to put up for critique. I am glad that others have found my BW treatment appealing as I was really happy with the conversions. These were originally shot as 400 colour with the 100-400mm mostly at the 40mm end because the backgrounds are so busy in the mall you need all the help you can get!
