Please read and understand before posting in the Critique Corner.
Before You Post:
a) Critique Corner is created for the sole and single purpose of getting feedback on images - feedback can be both good and bad, be prepared to take both in good faith.
b) At all times, please refrain from posting personal or insidious remarks meant to degrade, humiliate or otherwise disparage a fellow member's postings (image or comments). Due to the potential volatile nature of this subforum, we will adhere to a higher standard of moderation in regards to this guideline. Keep the comments strictly pertaining to the image, not the member.
When You Post:
a) Members are only allowed to post ONE image PER week. This is to allow enough time for critiques to be written.
a) Please keep your image dimensions to a comfortable size to facilitate easier viewing. We recommend the width to be no larger than 800 pixels.
b) When posting comments, please stick to the image in question and not disparage the member.
c) For the image poster, please include a short caption or description of the image or on specific areas where you want feedback on.
d) For the comment poster, I append some guidelines suggested by member Zaren for starters :-
Please note that this Guideline is a Work-in-Progress and we will add/modify as the subforum develops.

Zaren said:1. critiques will not merely be "crap shot!", "nice shot!" or :thumbsup:
2. the critique will include constructive comments/suggestions on how to improve the photo.
3. reasons will be given why the critique giver thinks the shot is good, or why the shot is weak/bad.
4. ppl who post photos for critique must not take offence at any negative comments/critique even if the comments are as brutal as simon cowell's.
5. unless otherwise stated, everyone giving a photo critique here is NOT a pro, NOT an expert, and does NOT have to show anyone their own portfolio to justify that they are worthy of critiquing photos. however, they are interested in learning how to critique better and more constructively, through practice.
some guidelines for those giving photo critiques;
- Framing/Composition (e.g. how appealing/interesting is the pic?)
- Exposure/Tones (e.g. over blown highlights)
- Color/WB
- sharpness
- Post-Process Workflow
- artistic merit
some guidelines for photographers posting photos for critique;
1. know your subject
2. draw attention to your subject
3. simplify.
it would also be helpful to post a short paragraph telling us why you took the pic and what you were trying to achieve photographically.
Please note that this Guideline is a Work-in-Progress and we will add/modify as the subforum develops.
