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.

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.

Hi Vince,
This shot is spectacularly sharp, however I think the heads in the foreground very much distract from the shot. Maybe a tight crop would improve it? It will either improve it or destory it. I hope you don't mind but I made the crop as I saw fit. What do you think?

Hi Geoff,

I thought about it...but I have not decided as yet...will do if I use the image in the album.

It does look better without the complete arm...but I do like the view of their complete arms.....

It was hard...the church had no center aisle :(

It should be nice if you can get the hold head otherwise just keep it aside for your reference not in the album.

Yes, the 70-200 is only useful when you play it with roomy in the church or outdoor and always good if you can shoot it in distance not to distract the people, as candid shoot.
Otherwise your 17-55Dx will paly a major role in this type of photography.
