Sand Through My Little Hands

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.

Very cool shot, Mic. The B&W works well to tell this story. :)

Thanks Kerry, :wink:

Looks like you are the only one that appreciates the B&W, I think I'll go back to shooting Birds, Flowers, Inverting & Worm Holes :shock:

To arouse peoples comments.

I don't know about anybody else, but I just didn't see this one, Mic. :roll:

Subjectwise... a very cute picture.
Subjectively... a little low key tonally for my taste.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Hey mic

I know what it's like. You post your work of art and wait... and wait... and wait...


generally I check all the non image posts first, then go back and check the image posts so sometimes takes me a day to get to one. Like this one.

I really, really like this. I like the B & W and I like how the background and the sand are really black. Did you do anything special with this since it seems much more contrasty than your normal B & W.

I do like artsy fartsy stuff, like B&W, toned, high-hey, IR and other similar works, as a general rule.

If you're really wanting to arouse people and get comments, you could take a shot of your inverted worm.... :shock: :lol:

Thanks Steve, :wink: Yes I know, hard to keep track of all the shots sometimes.

Thanks flyfisher, :wink: Welcome aboard the D70 Aus Express :)

Thanks Chris, :wink: Seriously :)

Thanks Stubbsy, :wink: It's a bit like that sometimes :( I have found with my new B&W's I use Channel Mixer, but change to green or blue channel then Monochrome. Then adjust some levels or a curve to suit.
Gives my B&W's more punch I feel.

Thanks for your interest. :wink:

Thanks Kerry, :wink: My Invereted Worm, Hmmmmm ( We might need an Adults only section in this Forum :roll: :roll:

Kerry, post some IR Images sometime. I love that sort of stuff.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Some images work better in B&W than others and I think this is one of them... The really stark background is intriguing, really catches the eye...
