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.

Wendell - Firstly welcome back mate you've been missed! Looks like you've been have a great time, and definitely creating some stunning imagery! This shots are great, and have all the ones you've been posting since you came back, but can I suggest you ease up on the posting of photos a little, however we'll suffer from Wendell overload, and some of us might just sell our cameras and give up, so your putting us to shame :cough: :up: (kidding of course) But in all seriousiness there is so much as too much of a good thing, and I think you'll get more / better critique with less photos then more at the moment as people won't be able to keep up :)

That said you're doing an amazing job, and I hope your still really enjoying your craft.. (it certainly looks like fun).

These are just ridiculously good. Brilliant work.
I'd love to get a back story in the photos. Maybe some slightly longer shots to give a setting to the images- some sort of fantasy forest scene, night imagery etc. There was an article in a British mag (DSLR Photography I think) where a photographer was doing just that- your images remind me of her/his work.
Really wonderful use of light.
I'd also love to know a little more about how you set the shots up.

Wendell you have outdone yourself. I am now afraid to post anything.

Seriously, it has been great to see your work. I would love to meet you at some point, just to put a face to the man behind the camera. The light and colour is amazing, and you have really captured the look despite little to no eye contact.

Love the first one Wendell - something classic about the pose/makeup/hair etc.
And let me second the welcome back with welcome 'home' :)

Amazing images (again) Wendell. Even the lighting diagram is tremendous. Too complicated for my brain though. :D
