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.

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 am not quite an active photographer again, but I have started revisiting my back catalogue A tribute to Arthur Stace that I made in response to a challenge here a few years ago. (" Painting with Light")  I have learned a bit since then, and have applied a slight vignette and played with levels and contrast a bit. The original found in the link above was SOOC. I should also mention that due to a computer crash with backups less than perfect, I lost my original photo. The edits were made by downloading the copy from the potograss website. This was me playing around with light. I learned a lot about lighting with this shot (and the 20 odd that led up to this one  )  High key Haiku (aka The Bucket Woman) This one still needs work. Perhaps a vignette, something needs to be done with the background, and I need to deal with that yellow object bottom right. But apart from the vignette, my PP skills are just not up to it. In from the cold

Great to see that you are still around Greg!
I really like the high key Haiku!

Amazing light painting. Hard work but worth it. Well done.
Arthur Stace, Mr Eternity, was a contemporary of my Grandfather, both Baptist church workers from a bygone era. I've always thought it ironic that on NYE, 1999, "Sin City" honoured, above all others, a Baptist street preacher!
Great image.

I was never really happy with the magpie in this post, so I decided to have a go at reworking it while procratinating on a more pressing job  Opinions? Better? Worse? Suggestions for improvement?

Good selection. I prefer your second version of the bird as it removes distracting elements and directs the attention to the its eye.
