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.

Hi all, not sure if you remember my previous series of oil painting called 'the masters'. (link here: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?p=263334&highlight=#263334)
 Well, this is an image that didn't make the cut but I loved it so much I am in the process of adding one more image to the set.
So here it is, about an hour so far tonight. I'd love some feedback, good or bad I can take it
Remember, it's renaisance oil painting style I'm after....
Rob

the lighting on this one is more fashionable
but i think what makes it is the flow of the hair
but i see why it didnt make the cut with your concept
it's too modern for the others
but i love the yellow top and all the other tones
it makes you want to lick it
excellent work, very close to the Dolce & Gabana campaign

Exactly, the other series were all dark and moody, the yellow didn't work with them.
RE: the D&G campaign we were very happy to see it in the recent Italian Vogue the other day. We had no idea of its existance when we did our shoot but it re-enforced we were doing the right thing and heading in the right direction, though, I have to say, theirs @#$#'s all over ours
We'll get there though...

Rob - love it but as I scrolled up I cut the pic just above the end of her arms and it seemed to me to have more impact

I detect some very subtle colour tweaking going on in that image....and it's very effective. Would a touch of canvas texture add to the painterly affect?

Matt have you been indulging in the Christmas cheer to much as I can already see the canvas texture Rob has added to the shot (and it adds to the shot nicely) or have I been drinking
Great shot Rob but as noted it doesn't fit with the originals as the dress is too modern
