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.

A recent challenge in a photo group I frequent: Pick a famous photo and recreate it. I have always liked the power of the Tank Man image, but I was surprised to find that there are several versions of the image from several photographers. I had thought that is was a single image. Anyway, here is my take:  I only had 2 Star Wars Clone tanks which I modified to look more like real tanks with turrets and added long aerials to mimic the Chinese tanks, although I am the first to admit they are really nothing like the real McCoy. I cut and folded a piece of white shopping bag and found a small black triangle block for the two shopping bags, held in place with blutac. The image is comprised of 4 images - I moved the front tank back on each take and then merged them in PS. Camera was set to constant manual exposure and focus. X-Pro1, 1/30th 60mm f/2.4 @ F/8, 1600ISO.

cool, but the legoman does not look Asian  Softbox has worked nicely here and generated some nice diffused lighting, cheers for the BTS shot.

The kids' collection of Lego just doesn't have any Asian looking hair. We have a few Asian looking faces, but that is not much use. Modern Lego has all sorts of motifs imprinted on the Lego people's bodies, I had to wipe that off in Post, and it kinda looks like Balakov did too... Balakov's is a nice shot, but he left the black bag in the left hand out, and they were shopping bags, not suitcases! I'm just jealous because he clearly has a better Lego collection than ours  Great collection of shots there, after seeing that one, I did a search and found yet another Lego Tank Man, and there I thought mine was original!

Very cool! We have no Lego in our house, sadly our daughters are just not interested I'm that sort of stuff. I was thinking about getting some scale figures used for train sets to try a few similar things. Quite cheap on flea bay but not sure that the quality would be good enough.
