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.

Well thanks again for your tips here is the same photo just enhanced the smoke with a second layer (vivid light blending mode) and a layer mask to get the background back to normal. Hope you like it.

Thanks Matt and surenj for having a look at my flickr photos here are three more pics

I had this really over exposed photo which I was kicking my butt for because the subject was so interesting so I tried to fix it up with PS (took a photo of a painting on my wall and used it as background + used 1 image from the lighthouse and another two for his glasses). All three are important features in East Timor. Two thumbs up for PS :up: :up:

Tried to use Photomatrix just love the detail.

5 exposures early in the morning PP with Photomatrix. So hard to get out of bed :biglaugh:

Well thats enough hope you like them

I really like the HDR of the boat...the colours are simply amazing...

As previously stated in another thread...not a big fan of the floating head in so #2 with one shoulder is a much nicer use of the concept.

All the portraits really show strong character...something I really struggle to do with my work.

I hope to see more of your work soon!

Here goes, I've been super busy and not had time for the forum so here's my first CC in a while.

The first shot is a interesting one, the lighting and the smoke combine to add an additional layer of interest as he's lit from behind the area of interest actually is in shadow. It has a cool affect.

#2 I commend your creativity and trying something different, having spent some time hanging out with artists on Redbubble I have a better idea of whats involved, so well done.

#3 Part of me likes it, but the exposure / processing just don't appeal to me much, I think another technique might work better (at least for me).

#4 Nice use of HDR, and well worth waking up early for. I'd like to see more space on the bottom and RHS the composition feels a bit cramped.
