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.

I like this photo a lot. Reminds me of when I was young and working heavy horses.(Clydesdales)

Maybe a sepia tone would give it more of an "old world" feel.

Kerry - this is one beautiful shot. It reminds me of pics taken during the 40’s in rural England - even to the blow out on the left hand side - I love this shot :D

Thank you very much, Greolt. :D I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the photo and it meant something to you. I also have one in sepia that I'll try to post later. :)

Chris, you are absolutely wonderful! I'm gonna divorce Mic and marry You! :twisted:

You've described exactly what I was trying to do with this shot, to a T. :D In case you couldn't tell, I get really excited when someone "gets it" on one of my shots. 8) :lol:

Hi Kerry
I agree with Chris - there is a nostalgic atmosphere to this shot. It is evocative of a much simpler, yet at the same time more difficult, era.
Well done indeed. :D

This is wonderful Kerry. What more can I say that hasn't been said already? You have captured it perfectly, and a slight sepia tone would be nice too! Well done, and keep them coming, your photos are truely inspirational!

Awesome. You've got a great eye to see that image and to convert it to B&W. Perfect really. Well done.
