In the Market...

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.

Number 2 looks very yummy. So do the poffertjes. :oops: Looks a bit underexposed though?

Love the flowers in 4, what are they called, Birds of Paradise or something? Nice looking, but I spent the best part of my youth retrieving cricket balls from the ones in our backyard, prickly little buggers! :evil:

John - a nice set of pics especially the first one. My only query is that the only pic that looks to be correctly exposed are the flowers. :roll:

Yep... you're quite right of course... The flowers were in the direct sunlight, so there wasn't too much of a problem there... The other shots were taken under a sort of marquee that was open at the sides... If you look in each of the 4 photos that were underexposed (uncropped versions), the exposure was influenced by the really bright sunlight that was coming from outside...

I should probably have used spot metering rather than matrix???

Anway, I've had a play with the RAW files and these versions should be better???
Also - what do you think of the uncropped version of the Turkish lady??? I prefer the crop, but the quizzical expression of the woman behind is interesting in the full version...

The cropped version is much better IMO
