Project 365 June

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 thought I would get some feedback on some of my favourite Project 365 images from June.

I also like the third but I reckon you might crop out the red on the rhs.

With the second I love the oof bokeh and the light on the hand, I'd crop the left inch and maybe a little at the bottom.

I agree that the 3rd one is the best and it would gain if you do the above.
I am not sure why but the 2nd is the weakest of the 3.

I really like #1 for composition and mood. #2 has too much out of focus for me and as for #3, I hate tattoos :), I also find the cup too distracting.

Portrait orientation on the first Cameron, my eye gets drawn to the window and wants to know whats out there rather than whats inside.

The second is nice, a slightly tighter crop would really draw the viwer in and stop them wandering around :) (10% on all sides)

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

#2 is quite nice. What's that on his LCD?? It would have been better if the LCD was sharper though.[easier said than done]

Thanks Gerry, will have a play when I get the time to fire up the big computer again...

I think it was Custom's House on that LCD....it was taken during Vivid from memory. I would say a better exposure on the LCD would have helped as well
