Lots of colour at Chinese New Year festivities

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.

Good to see someone else went :) Is the white balance in the third pic right? She's awfully pale if it is.

Was there last night and will be there again tomorrow night. Processing my photos from last night now.

3rd pic white balance is OK (line around neckline was white) - subject had a lot of pale makeup :-)

I'm fairly sure it's not my monitor (I have use a retina burning LCD) but your pics look a bit dark. Try and increase the brightness a bit.

It's pretty hard taking pics of ppl in the bright afternoon sun - too many shadows. Have a go at using the flash next time to lighten up the face so that you can see the shadows :)

Hmmm, using a Dell 20" widescreen LCD, they look OK here and on the older 21" CRT on the other machine

Wonder whats up - does the colour look wacky on all of them as well?

Not sure what you mean by whacky, but the colours aren't that saturated. They're a bit dull.

OK - you couldn't take one, change the saturatation and brightness and then repost it could you?

Then I could see what it looks like on my system

Cheers

It probably doesn't help that they're tagged (and I assume coded) Adobe RGB and it seems that the gamma is 1.8 hence the dark appearance. Displayed bearing these factors in mind they look great, just not in a non-colour managed web Browser.

Cheers,
Rob
