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.

Here are a few shoot I took on my first outing with my D70. I am still getting use all the things I need to do to get pictures but I took these in RAW and used PictureProject to get JPEG without any processing. :D

I would be happy to hear your comments.

Barry,

Hello Barry and welcome. Quickly, I like your photos, but would like to see tighter crops on your subjects overall. The ivy is slightly out of focus (the little flowers are atleast) the top #1 pic needs to be a little bit lighter, as the water in the background lightens the image and darkened the subject. THat pic I would recommend a tighter crop as well. The steamship is a great subject, but I would like a tighter crop, and a little more contrast. Do you do any post processing? I highly recommend getting into something so that you can add pop to you pics. The Gimp or PhotoShop are quite common around here it seems. This was essential for me to get a great pic out of a flat one. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your comments Dooda.

Hi Barry,
Good to see your pics.
There are many books ,as you could imagine on Photoshop.

However I usually search the internet with a specific question / problem
In fact this forum has lots of links and info.

Cheers

I have got a couple of photoshop books and looked at a lot more.

My absolute favorite is Scott Kelby's "Photoshop CS Book for digital photographers"

Would highly recomend it.

Barry I forgot to mention Scott Kelby also does one for "PS elements 3" which
is a lot more affordable software. You may decide that is a better place to start.
