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.

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.

Hey guys, since the last lot got a good response I thought I'd give it another go! This time I got hold of some vine tomatoes and used a builders floodlight indoors with an Alfoil reflector and mirror for bounce!

Lemme know what you think..I was thinking this would look good as a double page spread with an article or tag line across the top?!

Liam - as a designer I could not agree with you more. This is 100% up on the previous image :)

I really can't fault this image. Which is something that can't be said for a huge amount of shots.

Great work.

Liam,

Definitely like this shot over the previous one, one tomato in the foreground and 5/6 in the background .

Should go to McDonalds and show them what a healthy tomoato looks like. They advertise one thing, and the final product looks completely different. BTW: I am not a macca fan. Long live the local Fish n Chip shop, where you pay the same price but get three times the product and fresh as.

Cheers,
fozzie

Very ingenious setup Liam...
I look forward to my renovation finishing so that I'll have enough room to try stuff like this...
Cheers, John
