GOLD at dusk

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.

This shot was taken just on dusk from 10 meters away with SIGMA 180 + SB800 TTL I found the result interesting LOZ

I like this a lot, maybe slightly more crop on the left to reduce the black a little bit, but that's just me. Nice pic.

:wink: Bob.

Wow, very cool shot, and I agree, slightly cropping this might help. I really like the colour and shine and are apparent in this shot.

Interesting capture, I couldn't have guessed you used the SB800 on this shot.

LOZ,

A fine emotive picture - congratulations it is wonderfull.

I cannot agree at all with the notion of cropping - infact, if anything, I would like it a tad looser in order to resolve more of the chin. That midnight blue faintly silhouetting the contour of the back of the head is a joy - not to be cut off but celebrated.

Cheers,

I agree with SS on this one. I feel the midnight blue background compliments the gorgeous gold of the beautiful statue really well. If anything, i'd like to see a bit more of the statues lower head and neck. I feel a bit restricted and my neck tightens up when i look at it now, it's as though i am being strangled. But if an image can trigger an emotional reponse in me, i will fall in love with it.

Brilliant image LOZ, well done.
Steve.

Thanks all this shot and come to think of it 100% of my pic are loaded strait to Picasa 2 sharpened cropped and posted to Flickr .
Time restraints and not having a F#%*! clue how to use PS2 (an expensive waste of money for myself) have made me very selective, if it looks crock in the beginning delete it .
I now wish that I had taken many shots of this statue but for some reason I felt that I was imposing
