Nearly caused another riot at Cronulla...

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.

I'll see what the current prices are. :)

Nice work, John.

In the third of the group of four, the one where she is kneeling, have you considered a crop to a little above her knees? crop to about halfway along her thighs. I think that with the expression on her face in this image, this would make for a very powerful image.

:biglaugh: ... Initially I thought you must have posted to the wrong thread, but then I got it...

I think I can do better than the bargain section. This shoot, like the vast majority of shoots I do, was totally free :-)
Fair exchange is no robbery...

I look forward to shooting with Tracy again soon as she is an absolute star in front of the camera and a good laugh too...

Finally got around to it...

Is this the crop you meant Gary?

Good eye, I love it and so does she :-)

You can actually see the water droplets I painstakingly sprayed on now :-)
