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.

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.

I expecially liked the last shot. A tight crop on the two kids would really bring them out.

I agree with the last shot being the best. The red and blue really shake this photo of the children out, from the background. But more importantly is the capture of the two children in conversation - great shot

mrchampio, i think cropping any closer would not illustrate the performance of the two actors, ie part of the cat in the hat.

sirhc55, this show had 'technical' difficulties, so the actors/actress where just waiting for the music to start. i was anticipating this moment.

cheers
