I'm just wild about Harry

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.

Grandsons are a barrel of laughs. We have three at the moment and they are so much fun. (Well, most of the time.) Junior is at the slithering/pre-crawling stage, and he just won't stay still for longer than a split second. Thankfully BW conversions help hide the occasional less than sharp image in a flash-less Fuji world. Thankfully expression trumps sharpness in a sharpness obsessed world.

Beautiful conversions to B&W. Were they done in-camera or with computer software?
Also, lovely pics....they have a film like quality about them.

Thanks Matt. Images processed with With Silver FX Pro.

I think the Fuji in-camera BWs are brilliant too. I need to figure out how to assign that function to a button so I don't have to dig through the menus to turn it on etc. I think it's possible to bracket shots with say Astia/Velvia/BW. I need to figure that out as well.

Good suggestion Gerry and we've tried all that. The little blighter doesn't look up when you're at his level!

The trouble is when he looks at my ugly mug, he turns the other way. I have this thing about unintentionally scaring people.... :biglaugh:

3,1 & 2 for me, in this order. 3 because of Harry's smile, 1 and 2 because of the perspectives the pictures were taken.

Very true Gerry, but at least you still got the shot. There's millions of professional photos out there, perfectly focussed, but expressionless, which for me kills the image.
