?Friends?

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.

Moderators: Greg B, Nnnnsic, Geoff, Glen, gstark, Moderators

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.

How about a series of pics of ladies or guys that have featured in your lives :!:

My first is Mandy - a close friend photographed on her birthday.

Interesting pose, does she have new shoes on? I like it for an ad, but prefer a bit more eye contact for a portrait

Great idea! :)

I like the pose Chris, I think it adds something mysterious; you wonder what she's thinking/looking at. Maybe some fill flash to get rid of a few shadows, but again I think the shadows also add something.

No problem, Ben. In the old days, I was always doing things to try to get on her good side. Then I finally figured out she didn't have one.... :evil: :shock:

Mic - I used lens blur in PSCS2 for the background.

Kerry - a brave man indeed - make sure you lock the forum off when you are not around :lol:

Chris,

Charlie certainly looks to be an angel, as does Mandy.

I think that there's a point that everybody's missing wrt Kerry's lovely lady; am I the only one to notice just how horny she is? Kerry sure is one lucky man!

Kerry - I'm not surprised she 'trotted' off to the salon to fix THAT mess - it's the worst comb-over I've ever seen!!

Great shots all and a bloody good laugh!

You guys :lol: :D

Chris - I really like both shots. Is the second one a film scan or is the graininess part of the treatment.

Kerry - ready for wife number 5 are you :wink:

Yeah, here she is after a bath and shampoo. The first one was taken right after a mud bath for her delicate skin. Much better, I think. 8)

She has several sisters, Simon. If you're looking for a match made in heaven, I could prolly help you out. This is one of her big sisters, rather horny SYT as well, recently divorced from a guy that wasn't manly enough for her. The youngun has her sweet disposition too. :D

Well, we've only been married 6 weeks ;) but yeah, we are best friends, we've known each other since 1989 when we used to cath the school bus together.
