Thats Gold

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.

Very nice indeed! Looks like you had cooperative models.

Did you use a home made softbox? The light looks somewhat softish...

[get rid of the man in the background however...]

Hi surenj

Used a D200 with SB800 and diffuser, the kids over in Timor just loved to get there photos taken and see themselfs on the camera screen. (nothing setup, just a luky shot I guess, adjusted the curve and croped it a little in Photoshop)
I just thought it was the perfect picture to say thanks to Matt for taking the time to help me.

I'm just wondering if I would have removed those 2 poles in the background? They are a little distracting.
Regards

Beautiful shot!
I agree with Matt's recommendation to clone out/get rid of the poles as they are quite a distraction.

I also agree, clone these out, they kids look like they have alien antennae other then that is a nice capture, they all have various forms of cheeky grins on, and I like how you can spot a few more in the background wanting to get in on the camera action.
