Spiderman

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.

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.

Was at my niece's birthday on Sunday (wonderwoman party), and spiderman turned up. Apparantly this little one does NOT like having his photo taken, but fluked one just the same. Pitty about the background, but what can you do? The parents were happy anyway :)

This is a very nice portrait and his parents should be very pleased. I loke the DOF and don't think the background is too distracting.

I think he has eated too many coco-pops though (or has he got special spider muscles) :lol:

Well done

For someone not liking his photo taken you have done extremely well!
Nicely shot!

If the background is too distracting for you, you could always blur it alittle in PS, but frankly I dont see it as a problem either.

Hi Rel,
Lovely capture! I think the background is fine, even appropriate given what the little man is wearing...he's spider man...what better background than a brick wall and a fence? :) PERFECT for climbing. Wish I had pecs like that :) if I was to suggest just one thing perhaps a FRACTION more saturation, his face (on my monitor) looks just a tad washed out. Only my opinion though.

Wow that's a great costume, I've never seen one with built in muscles! Or does the kid work out?
