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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

just 4 to share with you (still trying to make time to PP teh images from the Tuscany trip  )
Focal Point - the little photography group i'm in set monthly challenges - due to one thing and another (house renovation!) i did not enter too many last year but, follwing the arrival of the D70 i made a promise to try and catch up on them all over our summer break, these 4 are off the D70
Theme - Knobs and Knockers (ask Diane why - she set it..)
D70, 50mm 1.8, 20mm extension tube, tripod
Theme - Dance
Set up as above but 10mm extension tube
Theme - Love - probably my favourite
D70, 50mm 1.8 @ f4.5
And finally -
Theme - Charades - i set this one - represent a book, film etc in one picture.....
This represents a book (literary classic, 2 words)
Answer - what you have when waiting to see if all six balls match your ticket - 'Great Expectations'
Comments / critique welcomed....... in the beginning was the word, and the word was Aardvark......

My favs are the knobs and knockers and the love pics.
Very, very simple and effective 
On a closer glance, the first pic is a knockout in terms of composition and atmosphere 
I'd seriously consider PP-ing the love pic a bit to tidy it up, then create prints to sell

As Arthur would say ”er in doors is the designer” - simplistic, well composed shots that convey the thought process very well Chris

Aplogies for the delayed reply - i've been away from a pc for a day or so.......
Pirostitch - thanks for the comments - i love simple images which is why im struggling with he next challenge - Rembrandt is the theme, like his work but too its hard to recreate for a simple mind like mine.........!
Would love to know what you'd tidy up on the 'Love' shot - i kinda thought it was ok? as for selling it - a local cafe has works by local artistf on the walls for sale........... in time i may be tempted to get a few shots printed and framed, then see if they'd out them on the walls for me.
Whatever happens i'm getting an enlargement done for home.
As for the door knobs - just waitng for my joiner to hang some doors so they can be out to use!
sirhc55 - thanks for your comments-much appreciated

Chris, I'm a sucker for saturated images so for me, I'd colour balance it a bit more so that the bkg was white (rather than light blue - even tho the bkg might have been light blue) and increase the colour saturation a bit.
I can really see that image as framed photos as well as prints on Valentine's Day cards and the like.

PiroStich - thanks for that - i know what you mean - i was actually going to look at that element myself - the background was actually white, thought i'd got the balance right until i got my print back and mounted it on white card to
Like the Valentines card idea - not too sure to to execute that but it has to be considered........ in the beginning was the word, and the word was Aardvark......
