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 at iso 1600. I actually kind of like the grain

You've got to love the d70

Great stuff mate :D

I believe that shot would not have the same impact if it had been taken with a lower ISO.
The grain adds that final ingredient to the image IMO

Cheers
Ray :P

It's funny how everyone tries to avoid grain but to many people who are not obsessed with sharpness (eg, my wife who couldn't give a hoot about pixels etc) a bit of actually adds a lot of character.

Indeed... I often play around with added grain etc, especially to b&w pics.
Character, feeling and emotion is what artistic photograhy is all about !!!

Andrew... that is a wonderful shot! I only wish that I had caught the shutter bug when my boys were babies..

Well done!

I suggest you invest in getting the shot printed and frames, those type of memories will mean more and more as the days and years go by....

cheers

That's a really nice image, dude.

I don't know about most people, but I'm really into the grain. I'm thinking of blowing up a 35mm neg to a 1 meter by 1 meter print (darkroom) at the moment and I've been encouraged on by one of my teachers because even she likes the grain...

Grain is good.

Pixels are bad.
