Oxymoron

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.

Hello!

Today it was my first day in a photographic studio! :) A new friend who is a professional photographer, was very kind and let me shoot some stuff to his studio with his 5d. No, i still prefer and love my nikon :D

I took the chance and i shoot a friend of mine in a weird concept. He was wearing a suit and some diver accesories while he was on a bicycle :D

Just the first i've edited.
I would love your comments, suggestions, etc.

Thanks a lot,
theodoros

I keep coming back to this image because something was swirling around in my so called brain.

Eventually I realised that this was so Terry Gilliam that, as an image, it could not be ignored - excellent photograph :)

I have a problem with this shot. You say that this was shot with your friend on a bicycle, but we see nothing of the bike.

I think this image is lacking because of that fact: were we able to see the bike, and especially if this were not to appear to be in a studio setting, but on a street, then I think we'd have a potentially great image.

But without the bike, I think there's an element of context absent, and the image, for me, suffers as a result.

Thanks a lot for your comments.

gstark, this photo is just the first that i've edited. There are about 120 more (the most with bicycle) to play with them :)

I'll post in about 5 mins an "Oxymoron 2" and an "Oxymoron 3" with some "full equipment" shots.

Thanks a lot again!
