Voyeuristic?

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.

The wife hasn't seen this one yet, but I can imagine what she'll say when she does...

It is a nice photo of an attractive woman. But, that doesn't rise to the definition of "voyeuristic" as I understand it. But, that definition seems to be a slider and your wife may have a valid point, since she knows you better than I..... :lol:

And if it's not enough to hide this file, you can always get one of those 128mb encryption software for added security :lol: Personnally, I didn't find it too voyeuristic, the light is beautiful and there is no deliberate atempt to focus on this lady's "assets"!

Don't worry John, she has her clothes on so it doesn't count. (I bet your wife will see it differently though).

Delete the evidence i say, that way you don't have to lie to the wife, but make sure you have a copy on smugmug first though.

There's no chance of me deleting it after the amount of photoshopping I had to do in it... Besides, I don't feel guilty at all and I quite like the photo...

Here's the original photo complete with flower-bed, seagull on her shoulder and assorted plastic bags... :lol:

I used the Sigma 70-300mm at about 200mm... 1/640 sec F5.3 on a monopod...

How far away was I? Far enough not to be noticed... :lol:

Sorry CD, but I couldn't possibly release the full-sized image for fear of action due to inappropriate publication :lol:

It's not about the photo that you take - It's the way that you use it - Leek

As promised, I have now shown the photo to Mrs. Leek and she didn't mind a bit... She actually had a worse reaction to another photo I took on the same day - Yet to come...

Aw... no-one's commented on my newly acquired photoshop skills :-(

I thought I'd done a pretty good job of cleaning up that image to the bare (no pun intended) essentials... Now that I look at it again, maybe I should have left the flower-bed in the photo... ???

Nice PSing.

However, a small thing: Due to your cloning in the seagul area, lines are visible (where the same bit has been used to clone again). Try a bit of healing brush on this to smooth the area out, and get rid of the lines. This is rather minor though, and I wouldn't have picked it up if I hadn't done the same for a photo I was putting in for a 30x20in print.
