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.

First and last images - crackers! will have a browse thru your festival pictures soon.. The first image is actually really sweet, I would just dial down your watermark opacity, i found it hit me in the face like a wet fish  then I really enjoyed the image! I don't think you could set up studio lighting to do better than whats in those shots

Thanks Gerry.
The watermark in the first image is bright because the background is so dark; in more high key images it can almost disappear. It's a tradeoff I'm inclined to wear. Adjusting the opacity individually for each image would get too hard.
Yeah, there's nothing like good lighting to work with. As I remarked to someone at the time, taking photos in the daytime is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.

Murray
These are all interesting images, but that last one is the ace in this pack. There's a nice intimacy to it somehow,

Thanks, Peter. Well it was intimate. I was about three to six feet away from him with a 50mm f1.4 lens (though f6.3).

There are lots I could have chosen. The initial four images above are not supposed to represent the best four images. For a start, I excluded any I had posted on my blog pages. One good thing, though. I've been at it for a long time and I think I'm still improving.
That last one of Mason Rack. I'd been getting in close at the front edge of the stage with the 14-24mm and then changed to the 85mm f1.4. Then he came at me in fun with the guitar, giving me a photo op. I did the best I could with the 85mm then hurriedly changed the lens back. This was the next shot, a completely different composition but maybe from inches away.
