Be gentle - 1st pic posting

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.

Taken this evening, cropped to fit my desktop, and one of his mum's long hairs cloned out in PS. Still falling off the learning curve though,
I'd tried a couple of flash-less shots at 1600, and forgot to re-set, so there's a bit more noise than I'd have liked. Also warmed it up a bit, and some USM applied;

Good morning Pete - sorry mate good evening 8)

Your pic IMO is beautiful - such great eyes and sharp. I do like the sepia toning and I don’t like the high iso noise - so take some more Pete and keep posting :D

Nice shot mate.
Nice expression in the eyes.

By the way, I used to live just up the road from you in sunny old Luton not 4 months ago but swapped it for Sydney. How is it there?

Pete

The shot is excellent - both proud parents should be more than happy with this one.

As an aside, I'm on broadband and it took quite a while to load the pic. We still have many members who use dialup so I suggest keeping the file size < 200K and the image dimensions no more than 800 pixels on the largest side.

Thanks for the positive feedback; I am of course somewhat biased in my opinion, as the subject is close to my heart! (3 1/2 year old son). I've re-sized the pic - apologies to those on a dial-up connection. I remember my frustration pre-broadband days when someone sent me a 3mb pic of their car!

Rokkstar - St. Albans is just emerging from a rubbish winter (rest of the country got some proper snow, no such luck here). Looking forward to an undoubtedly rubbish summer too. Sigh; how much for a ticket to Sydney ?
