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.

That's amazing Matt... Perhaps a little judicious cloning in the earhole may make it even more flattering :lol: :lol:

Well I have to comment, don't I.

I think the face is a little orange and I'm concerned about the earwax, but otherwise the treatment works superbly. In particular I think the arm, watch and camera work fantastically well at a textural level with this treatment. Next time get a better looking subject.

I suggest you have a look at what ISO setting you're using Matt... quite a bit of noise in the shot... oh... and by the way... time to clean the sensor... there appears to be an enormous dust bunny smack bang in the middle !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Chris,

When did Matisse start taking photgraphs?

Great treatment, Matt.

This mite sound a bit trite....but I don't know the exact procedure! From memory, I converted to lab colour and split the channels. I saved A or B channel as a seperate file. I then opened that file and pasted it onto the original file and dropped the opacity a little to let some colour through. Then flattened the layers. I then went to curves and bumped the contrat up high. Made a copy of the layer and filled it with noise. Went to blur/movement and added some blurr. That's it....roughly.

Next time Matt, would you kindly apply some digital talcum powder to that shiny bonce, the glare is overwhelming :D :D

Nice effect though, Max
