Off To Catch A Butterfly DaD.

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.

Excuse someone's Butt crack on the right. :? :?

Did you get permission to shoot the guy's bum?

Nicely composed photo.

IMHO the left leg of the girl would look more natural without the green bias

I think there is a "bum crack fill" tool in PS CS somewhere.

:lol:

I just read that again.

mchampio, :wink: Ha ! No I didn't, didn't realise until the other night when I was PPing. Yep you are spot on there, thats the reflection off the grass before I did the B&W conversion. ( Well spotted )


boxerboy, :wink: Nothing like a bit of Asssssss :D :D

Greg B, :wink: :D My new Wacom Pen will fit in there nicely I think.
Would that be the PSBCFT Tool ( Photo Shop Butt Crack Fill Tool )

I think we should patent this :?

Thanks All. :D :D

I agree with mchampio about the green cast on the left leg and think the whole image would work better if it were recropped to remove the folks on the right altogether. Much more interesting to wonder what she's looking at than seeing something there that makes no contribution to the pic.

IMO I get a general feeling from this forum that everyone (almost) always wants to capture a perfect full frame and is a little bit hesitant to crop their images. Maybe it's just that their trying to keep the highest resolution and sharpness possible in each frame. Or (and this is probably really it) maybe I just need to take my medication more often. I don't know. (sigh) :cry:

I tend toward the other extreme and immediately crop and PP out all of the extraneous little bits that bug me. Takes all kinds, huh?!

bit ofa rough generalisation there mate.

I'd agree that some cropping could work well, and almost suggested it, but thought not because the current composition doesnt bother me either. I find that because she is selectively coloured, it removes the need for the subject to be illustrated by a tighter frame. For me personally , anyway.
