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.

Here's a shot that has so much going for it...but lacks one thing to make it a masterpiece. It needed a little fill flash to unblock those dense shadows that prevent us from seeing into the image. You have the shape, balance, texture, perspective and all the other elements working for you. A nice image that has a little more unrealised potential. Regards

Matt, thanks for your comment!! I'd just burned out my SB800 and could find no high power batteries in this part of Burma. They had these really old Panasonic batteries that lasted about 4 flashes!! I always carry spares now!! I've tried to rescue this in PS, but the face is irrecoverable!!

It's a beautifully framed shot but matt's right. Pity about the SB800 but coouldn't you try to use exposure adjustment or dodge/Burn function on PP? It might help a little because it is a nice image Taro.
cheers marco
Terrific image Taro, just absolutely splendid. Really well seen and composed. The face on my monitor looks a little alienlike. I wonder what it looks like dark?
I can't say how much I love this shot, the treatment, everything is bang on except for the face.
bugger - you'll just have to go back and shoot it again!!!
But it is a bloody terrific shot just the same

Try this. Make a duplicate in Photoshop, (control+J) Invert the duplicate to make a negative and put a small amount of gaussian blur through it...about 4 or 5. The go to levels and change the blending mode to soft light. Adjust the opacity to suit and then flatten the layers. Maybe that will improve the image and it's worth a try. Regards
