Autumn

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.

Mikhail - an interesting pic. I do like it but it is always hard to judge what the original light was like. My only suggestion would be to remove the leaf on the right hand side as it seems to bare no relationship to the rest of the pic.

I think that the depth of field in this shot is a little too shallow and doesn't let the subject stick out from the bokeh. It confuses my eyes or something. It works well with the title.

This is a nice, simple, sensitive Autumn image. Delicate. I like the slightly golden tone of the tiny leaves. I agree with the advice that Chris gave about the leaf at the far right.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Yes... sharper focus on the actual subject... What did you do to it?
