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.

Matt
Excellent work as usual

The first one of the monks is great. I really like the way you've managed to catch such a varied range of expressions on their faces.

The second one with the fountain is a trifle busy - I think i'd like to see the monk on the right cropped out.

#3 - apart from the having to catch a few cushions when they fell out of my monitor :wink: I really like this - a nice mood piece made much more effective with the presence of the woman.

#5 - sorry to tell you this, but these people aren't monks :D

And I see the best was saved for last. The final image is fantastic. Subject is great, framed and lit well and the tonal range rounds the whole image out perfectly.

The pic of the sculpture is a nice capture and the cropping (or framing) works well with the shot.

And the group shot is impressive. So many patient people prepared to share a special day with a bunch of photographers.

Looks like I missed a very rewarding day.

Matt, you certainly have a way of brining out the human element in your photos. Really good work all round. I love all of them.
