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.

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.

Hi Sue.

The last three do it for me.

In the first of these (#3) I'd like to have seen the chopped elbow unchopped. Chopped is fine for chopped liver (Pesach is just around the corner; matzah, anyone?) but I'm not sure if it's that good for the elbow.

In the next one ... just love it. The cross-referencing between the colours of the balloons and the model's hair and clothes works very bloody well.

And in the last image, the colours in the umbrella, plus your use of the wide angle lens, up close, with a low angle, make this image a very different one, and an absolute stunner.

the eye contact, composition and colour of the 3rd immediately caught my eye. i love the shot to bits. as gary said, i'd prefer if the elbow wasnt chopped though.

i also LOVE the engagement with the model in the first. she looks like shes looking right at me. perfect exposure to boot.

These are all great!
However in #4, the blank stare, the make-up, the balloons.... made me think of scary clowns. ;)

I love the last 3, but especially the umbrella shot... the wide angle, the colours and the perfect lighting make it a stunning photo... well done on all of them :)

Great shots Sue, a lot of thought obviously gone into positioning and props and exposure for the flawless skin spot on
Lights would make it easier to control shadows indoors but excellent result with what was available
