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.

My VRrrrrrr had a great work out this weekend, we had back to back events, even shooting in the rain :-)
An image that caught my eye...I love the light.

Yeah that's a great image. I assume it wasn't posed and you just saw the moment and grabbed it, well done.

I think the colour on her arm is not right, more purple to me, or it's just my eyes.

No Birddog, not your eyes...

Her arm looks like it is bruised :shock:

Maybe a bit of PS should fix that :wink:

Depend on the lighting, flash with diffuser and to the right angle of the flash, it will apply with a good result and composition.

I didn't use flash a lot but have to, in some circumstances.

Flash can work quite well if you don't over do it. Just enough to provide a bit of boost to the light your working with. I think a bit in this instance would of helped.

Yes nice light, but better is the natural pose of the subject!

IMHO this should be in a photography textbook next to the title of Candid!

Vince,

I really like your wedding photos. I like the first of these two posted here.

Incidently, another 6 degrees of seperation thing here. At work my girlfriend sits next to the maiden of honour of the wedding you photographed last week. She showed her some of the shots you took and when she came home she said

"They have some gorgeous photographs, taken by someone called Vin...."

"Vincent Lai" I said in a flash

"That's him, they're brilliant"

Small world mate.
