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.

Your thoughts and suggestions much appreciated... I like the shot but maybe his face is a little dark? Would fill flash fix this or is just becouse of his arms?

I am also trying to determine if my monitor is callobrated correctly, does the colour look ok to you?

What do you think?

Woody,

I'd say that fill flash would certainly soften the shadow on his face, but I like it as it is. Looks like a game of peek-a-boo. Very cute.

As for your monitor calibration - hard to tell but skin tones look good on my monitor and I'm calibrated to a lab I deal with in Melbourne.

Nice sharp image!

Thanks for your reply JordanP.

Good to know the colours look good and the image is sharp on a calibrated monitor.

I like the pose. It's a nice candid. Very sharp too.

Although the top of your son's left hand and shirt sleeve is a bit overexposed. If you have Nikon Capture you could reduce this by applying a curve or two and adjusting them a bit.

I would also have cropped it a bit tighter to get some of the swing out of the main view. (But that's just my own personal choice for composition)

However, it is a very nice image. I like it.
