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.

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.

... documentary For the last 3 Sunday nights, ABC has been showing a documentary on the life of Charles Darwin around publishing "Origin of Species". The documentary included various scenes from Oxford University, including stone heads atop posts on a fence around one of the buildings. That reminded me that I had take photographs of 5 of those heads when we were there in 1991. So I scanned them and here they are. I hope I'm allowed to include 5 images because I didn't want to eliminate one of them. All shots taken with a Nikon F-801s on Kodachrome 64. I think it was with the 35-70mm kit lens.

Just check the EXIF. It should be in there  I really like these. They really are the sorts of thing I notice & try to capture, though I don't recall seeing them when I was there. Still I was only in Oxford about two hours Love your use of DOF to separate them from the background while still maintaining a sense of what is there. We have been attending a series of lectures at AGNSW loosely based on Darwin's influence on the world. Yesterday was looking at Cezanne (and others!) and how secularism, science and technology altered the way artists saw and captured the world. I was aware of the influence of the development of photography, but it would appear that Darwinian ideas had just as big an effect. The highlight though has to have been Chris Darwin talking about how having him as an ancestor has affected his life. Next Sunday, the last  , topics are "Brancusi, Metaphor and Metamorphosis" - whatever that means and "Intelligent Design". Looking forward to it. Greg

Didn't you use a EXIF back for your film camera?  I like the tones of these. Lovely indeed. Need to figure out how to get this same feel in digital. [Also the inbuilt high quality softboxes help with the lighting]

I first looked at these images thinking, 'good lord he got uglier with each sculpture' - but then it clicked that they are different people, (forgive me, i'm a bit slow sometimes)  I then thought 'hey they look like Gilgamesh at Sydney Uni' then I read your thread  I have watched parts of that docu, interesting and I never realised some other dude was coming up with the same theory half way round the world... These are nice pictrues and really remind me of teh lovely sandstone buildings and sculptures at sydney uni!
