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.

I was beginning to think I wouldn't have time to enter my own comp, but thanks to the wet weather, I made it. Theme 1: …Reflections. I didn't expect this to be as difficult as I found it. Tried out a variety of concepts. This was the only one that even halfway worked for me.  Theme 2: …Emotion I could almost enter this as all four categories, but I am in enough trouble from my model as it is without calling her a Kitchen Utensil   Theme 3: …Kitchen Utensil. An old pepper grinder that has been in the family over 40 years. It has been used daily all that time & still works well. A brand I recommend.  Theme 4: …Animal A is for...  As usual vote (for or against!) in http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34280Place comments/criticism on the photographs here. Greg

Greg, Point of order ... is a pepper grinder really a kitchen utensil? I'm thinking that it's typically used in a dining situation, rather than a kitchen. That said, who cares?  Love the image: great PoV for the shot, great use of perspective, great composition, great exposure .... hmmm alll those greats ... should we call this a pepper grater? g.

I use this one in the kitchen. I have another two (same brand  ) that see dining table duty, and another one that lives with the camping gear. what brand is that old pepper grinder?
Marlux. I have been though a number of other brands as well. None lasted more than a year or two. I also have one of their salt grinders. About 15 YO & still going strong. The camping one is Peugeot. I changed brands because I wanted a really small one for backpacking, and longevity was less of an issue as it doesn't get used so much. So far it's holding up though. Greg

Another great set of pictures for your entry Greg. That pepper grinder looks just like the excellent one my parents have had for decades. Your model in number two is very lucky to have had such a great photo taken of her.  (and you were lucky to have such an obliging and patient model too!)

Do you cook? Surely you dont just throw the peppercorns in the pot whole everytime? Of course its a kitchen utensil! I like number two as well. But the aphids are pretty good too. Shame about the roses...
