I'll critique the last photo, shall I? Now where is it...Oh, yes...

I like the scene, peaceful. Am I to assume it is an "aged" photograph. If so, it is done well. I know some folk don't like the idea of ageing a photo (Why make a good photo look like it's been in the bottom of the sock drawer for 40 years?...etc.) but some people like it, including me. 8/10

This thread is a gas. Nice contrast and setup, but a little more DOF might have been nice- 6.5/10

Why on earth did you take this photo? I give it a 1. It doesnt tell me a story nor it is interesting.

More fireworks

Schwetty - I'm giving yours a 7.5/10. The image grabs my attention and the vertical lines are pleasing to the eye but the overall interest just isn't there. There IS a little depth as the pink lines drop back, leading into the image a little, but not as much as I'd like to see. Nice photo, though it's probably not something I would frame and hang on my wall... It just doesn't grab me enough.

Now for my picture: This was actually not taken by me, but by a friend, at Roatan. Rate it for her?

8/10 I like the idea of the picture, the DOF is good too. But, Id look better if there were no people (I know this might have been not possible, but you could use the clone stamp tool in Photoshop and remove them it'll be easy with water :thumbup:.

Now for my picture, experimenting with my new lens .

I'm scared to even post one of my images in here as most of the critiques I see lately are ridiculous and consider things that work great to be negatives.

Regardless.....above I give a 4/10. You clipped the edge of the flowers on the left and the bottom of the basket on the bottom. The foreground is very slightly underexposed while the background is very overexposed. This draws my attention to the out of focus trashcans rather than the flowers. Exposing for the background and using fill flash on the flowers would have helped.

 

[patrick0294]

I agree with the ratings, as far as the clipping edges, on the website it appears like it but, on the actual file I have on my computer it isn't clipped I guess image shack shaved off a few pixels. Thanks for the fill flash idea though, I never thought about it.

NateS...a fabulous image. Sharp where it needs to be, and well lit...very few areas showing flash light. A great macro. 9/10

This guy is on my left arm while I shoot with the gripped 400d with heavy 90mm lens...

Thanks Bend the Light. I give yours a 9/10 only taking off one because the focus seems like it just barely in front of the face. Kudos to you for letting them crawl on you...glad I'm not the only one.

Thanks. I will leave your next for someone else to rate...my spider was literally tiny...you can tell by the hair on my arm how small. Anything larger than a 6-7mm and it's not crawling on me!
I was pleased with it as I use an old heavy 90mm macro lens on a gripped 400d...a heavy set up, and I had to shoot one handed.

Loving your next shot...but will leave the rating for someone else.

^^^^^a very unique moth/butterfly, I would rate this shot at a 9 out of 10 for focus and dof.

It's cute!

7/10 I would like it more if the background had just a little bit of variance or something to keep it from looking like a plain wall.

 

[kundalini]

Very nice idea, but I think that you chose the wrong aperture (only a small sliver is in focus) and PoV (getting more of a profile view) plus it is overexposed (lose of detail on the top of her hand and fingernail). 4/10
