Newbies - NSFW

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.

Hello Dan,
#4 is different. Is it a single exposure or a composite?

I love the 4th image.
I think it is very clever regarding the arrangement of the head of the lower person with the face of the upper person.
Also a cute bottom :D :) :lol:

#4 is eye-catching! Love it.

#1: why did you put the green wash across it?

#2: looks and feels like a composite image. Is it?

#3: very bright (too bright for a face?)

Answers :)

#4 Thank you

#1 Too match her eye-shadow was thinking along the lines of a mermaid..

#2 No its one image overlayed with some 'effects' (the 'effect' give the impression of ghosting around her head)

#3 I wanted a glossy contrasted look, i know its OOT :)

I love the fourth photo. Good example of thinking outside the square (or under the table.) Really cool.

#1 i can see as a magazine cover shot [with writing etc on it] but not necessarily a stand alone shot.
#4 is a very clever shot 8)

I always enjoy looking at your "eye candy" but certainly like the various looks you get, photographically speaking. Over 90% of my photos are of my little kids so there is only so much I can transfer to those photos :lol: but I like the technique you use in image #2 which looks like bokeh/water-drops/out of focus lights etc - how do you achieve that?

I like the impact that you get from all your photos - they all demand that the viewer stops and has a good look. Some may find criticism to levy but it would be rare to skip over them due to lack of interesting features. Number 4 is definitely one of those captivating shots - great idea and execution. The shot of the model on top of the table looks great alone but the whole concept of including the model below is fantastic. Would love to see the originals of these - I see a lot of skin in my line of work and no-one looks that smooth and creamy but it really works here!!!

Looking forward to more!

Cheers, Muzz.
