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.

Walking thorugh the Adelaide Botanic Gardens today, I noticed a show going on - local bloke Denis Sheridan was belting it out in front of a big band -

And gave a stirring rendition of New York, New York (with a slightly bewildered chorus line)

I like the expression you caught in the first pic. Nice to see the kids in the second. Looks like you were shooting in harsh light as some of the highlights are blown.

You're not wrong about the lighting - blazing sunshine! Hard to manage, especially with digital. Unfortunately the high compression I used for the web makes the highlights look a lot worse than the "real" pictures, but you get that....

Just wondering which highlights u see blown on your monitor? The only I can see is in the 2nd image with the little girl's white t-shirt. Cheers,


Geoff.

Geoff - In the first image the shadecloth in the background and the guys hands look blown. Maybe it's just my monitor as it's getting quite old...

digitor,

Firstly, nice shots: the trusty Sigma 12-24 at work again.

It was truly a magnificent day in Adelaide, especially for a walk into Town I presume via the Botannic Gardens. BTW: did you and Vicki join in on the chorus :?: .

Call me next time, as I luv Jazz Music ie. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and more recent Diana Krall :D .

ta ta for now,
fozzie

Heh, cool. I was there today. There was a bunch of us mucking around on the lawn. I saw a few photographers around. I suspected one of them might be a D70users member.
Dennis sure loves to go for a walk with his wireless mic. I didn't feel like chasing him so I left my cam in its bag. Good thing someone was on the job :) .

Thanks Fozzie, actually it was the kit lens this time! Unfortunately, we couldn't find the energy for a can-can, so we just sat under a tree most of the time!

I'll keep it in mind re the jazz.

Cheers
