Digitally edited?

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.

I would say the guy on the left, you've flipped his head as he was originally looking to the right?

I think that Owen's spot on.

There's still some of the sky left in the area adjacent to his hair whee it intersects with the building's roof, on the rh side as we view the image.

Reasonably well done however, but this image still needs some serious curves work, btw.

The hand on the shoulder, I don't think it belongs to the guy in the red shirt. Apart from looking a tad over sized in relation to his body AND in the wrong position in relation to his shoulder, it's also got a blue sleeve.

It actually does belong there, I think the blue sleeve that you are seeing is his watch.

I think the blue sleeve is actually a wrist watch...

 LOL a watch, I guess that's what you get when you use a crappy monitor.

I must admit that the hand on the shoulder is very odd. The guy it is supposed to belong to has his shoulder going down which, perspectively, would mean that his arm must be ultra long.

Just seen the original and now know why the hand looked odd. The shoulder in the original is obviously at the right angle for the hand.
