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.

The expression on the first dude is awesome! I would correct the skin tones though. [They seem kinda Magenta-purple on my monitor]

I really like the tilted head composition as well. I would increase the contrast to make this image pop even further.

As Matt has successfully done, I would definitely dabble in a bit of BW for these. [off to try my own.....]

Lastly, thanks for bringing the 24-105 for me to have a look.

Your favourite is also my fave!

Excellent interaction between the model and the camera here. We viewers get a peek at a bubbly personality who does things her own way.

Absolute classic street portrait - well done!

Craig
Well done Mate! Some excellent pics! Image #3...the guy with the porky hat....this is crying out for a B&W conversion.
My hat off to all of you guys who were there on Sunday....you snagged some fabulous people pics! Think A3 prints or larger and you can see where this is heading. Craig...I also love you last image...what a couple! But I suspect you may have cropped this just a little too tightly. Give it some room to breath. Despite what Robert Capa says...closer is not always better!
