Eye Contact

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.

Mastered by a 10 week old. :cheers:
taken with my "new to me" 60/2.8G micro picked up used on flea bay for $380. bloody cheap and a great lens.
f4.5 iso1600 with just a kiss of fill flash from remote sb900 and a bagload of natural light.

wowsers, check them eyes out..cold as ice! They really hold your attention when looking at the picture. Any reason for the off centre compo? Maybe whacking him straight in the middle of the frame might work better?

now to get into the real stuff, you got a tidy macro lens there, I reckon you could get alot closer than what you have in this picture :rotfl2: plus, probably the only time he will sit/lay still long enough.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I like the off centre composition just as I like the non symetric top the little critter is wearing.

well technically...the top would be pretty close to symmetrical (when not on him) but hey... :wink:

yeah, its funny like that, some people really like symmetry and others don't and avoid it, others just don't notice it. Lucky we are all wired differently, cause it would be fing boring otherwise.
