Pinot Noir...

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.

I was sitting outside by my mother and snapped this picture. I think it turned out nice. What do you guys think? C&C to your content!

Brandon that is a very nice image. I like the composition but would maybe have cropped a tad off the bottom as the foreground is a little fussy. Good work.

Lovely shot, it's got nice cosy atmosphere... Besides the glass, I like the flower patterns on the table and the person reading in the background. Maybe the wine would come out better if the background was a bit lighter though.

While I like the person in the background, I find the flowers on the tablecloth far too strong, and for me they detract from the simplicity of the wineglass's stem.

I'm also wondering how a similar image might have looked, with just the lipstick on the glass as the primary foreground subject, plus the person in the background.

I agree with Gary on this - my first impression was the lipstick on the glass and thought what a great comment photo this would make.

I do like this pic but would like to see the table cloth in the foreground defocussed in PS or similar.

Well done Brandon
Chris

I'm agreeing on these comments as well. The sharpness of the table detracts from the lovley wine and background.
