Some AW Saturday morning pics

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.

Scott I really like all three of these and strangely actually think the one of me is a great capture. Only niggle is the WB looks a little out (my white shirt has a decided blue tinge), but I'm on my uncalibrated wortk monitor.

hehe - nice shots there scott...

The shot of Stubbsy is a classic pose of his, and probably one of the best examples I've seen (although I'd agree the lighting seems to have given him a slightly blue shirt - or maybe he washed it with the colours!).

The shot of Poon ;) I didn't realise the SB800 was quite that powerful!

Ahhh - but you're standing straight! So does that mean you're the one who's crooked?

Nice shots Scott, with the infamous linux colour cast :wink: I think they were all graet captures and the one of Stubbsy was very appropriate. He really worked hard to get his shots and I think that will show through in his results.

Hmmm... I thought I had the colours right this time...

Yep, your shirt is a bit blue Stubsy... but if I warmed it your face was a bit red...

I love my CP :)

Having shot in the same conditions, with the same lens and possibly the same brand CPL (Hoya?), I can wholeheartedly praise your good use of CPL that produced some excellent images... suffice to say mine didn't turn out half as good as yours. You had very uniform saturated skies and made good use of flash.

My fav is the old and the new - nice touch of the rotten bits of wood to lead into the view.

The sign had two messages.......that is the other one! Serious.

Intense colours MHD, mine didn't come out that nice......but then my gear isn't as nice as yours either.

I have a great shot of you and your daughter which I will put up once I process the images.
