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.

Oops sorry about the image size. Youngest son's soccer game today (he's the one walking in the background!) Everyone else seems happy to follow the leader. The leader looks pretty happy too!

Great picture, though I'd be a little concerned over the lack of positional sense demonstrated by your son's team mates. :)

Lovely photo which promotes the theory that if you can’t win by tactics win by sheer bloody numbers :wink:

Marcus,

Nice, crisp imaghe with great use of DoF too.

What lens, and also what WB setting did you have? I'm asking about the wb because this looks (to me, on my monitor) as though there's a slight green tinge to it all.

I'm saying this despite the predominance of the green in the image; it just looks to me as if the wb or hue isn't quite right, and needs a bit bit of a nudge towards the warmer side of the spectrum.

Lovely shot Marcus but I too, like Gary saw (on my monitor as well) a green tint, I (hope you don't mind) took the magenta/green slider in PS to -26 and this is what I got:

yes the colour is better in Geoffs edit... but that is a minor point in a nice photo!!

I love the self satisfied expression on the face of the possesor... "hehehe, Damn I'm good!"

Good memories!

Thanks to all,

Chris: They lost!?

Gary: 70-200VR, 1/1250th at f2.8, WB auto. I'm just getting used to this lens and had been shooting previously in sports mode but have now changed to manual because of focus problems. Your monitor is not playing tricks and the shot is too green.........probably thanks to some bad PS work after dinner at the neighbours on Sat night (beer goggles on!).

Geoff: Thats what I was after. Always feel free to manipulate!

MHD: Yeah, he's a pretty happy chappy at that moment!
