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.

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.

He sat still long enough to catch this image and then started wiggling as per usual.

Actually here is another but the light is a bit harsh in this one.

I agree Big Pix. The second one looks good on my (calibrated) monitor and the first a little pit dark. Petal, the second shot really made me smile - his smile is very infectious. What a gorgeous little boy! :D

I did them here at work on my uncalibrated POS Dell 15" LCD so I'll have to fix then when I get home. He is always smiling and laughing. Very happy for a 7 month old.

I'm with Bp & Marvin the first image is quite dark while the second looks much better.. I'm also using calibrated monitors here... Open up this link as i've uploaded the PDI Test Image used for calibration. If you look in the centre of the image you'll see a row of squares going from white to black gradually (Kodak Gray Scale). On your screen are you able to different between the the squares labelled A, 1, 2, & 3?

He's a cute boy, you can tell he's a happy baby!

EDIT: Sorry wrong pic, linked fixed

If the image isn't meant to be a gemini then I think you've provided the wrong image.

They are great shots petal, nice work.

#1 looks slightly better on my work monitor.

I love the black background for the seperation it gives the subject.

He's a good looking lad too.
