Boundaries

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.

Thought I should contribute a few images here as I have been a little remiss of late.

look like flag designs. I like these abstract works. They should be printed very large and framed in exquisite gold frames after which they could hang with the best in the finest galleries.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Thank you all.

I went back to the sports ground again today and added another element.

I think it detracts from the elegant simplicity of the image personally. the shadow certainly doesn't work for this one either.

That makes more sense! Not that it needed to
because there were very nice abstracts. I think
the last one is the best of the last two.

Geoff,

Your use of light (and shade) here is exemplary. This is borne out in the textures that we can see in these images.

Masterful.

The idea with teh second lot of images has merit imo. However you have not balanced the elements, the ball takes over rather than compliments.

Think about placing the ball differently and also teh relative size of teh ball within the frame - this will lead you on the road to (in my opinion) to images better than the first lot.

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