Thai people

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 love the people of Thailand, especially the kids. It's an easy place to take photos. Parents love to have their kids photographed. I almost always give the kids some money. It makes their day I'm sure. Here's a few from earlier this week:

Oz,

What glass were the first and fourth of these shot with? They both have a beautiful soft feel, but at the same time retain an edge that belies this softness.

And the colour and saturation in the first is just great. You've not just nailed this. It's been securely bolted down!

I don't know about the fat lady, but the 5DII is surely singing!

Thanks Gary. All shot with EF 85mm F1.8 (the only lens I took on this trip) then processed with a (freebie) PS action which sort of blurs things then sharpens with channels etc.

I reckon it's worth more than double what you paid for it.

Er ....

It's certainly working for you, anyway.

Actually Gary, there's heaps of good free actions for PS out there. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I'll email some links.

I thought I replied to this thread ages ago...maybe it was another that looks similar.

They are brillant, I love #1 and #3 the most. They really portray the innocence of the children. Glad to see that you are asking for permission.
