Hey guys...I'm trying to find ways to get you all more involved. I'm thinking one way would be to offer critique of images from members. Let me know what you think and if you guys like this idea I'll be happy to post the first image :)

My experience with PhotoSig was not all that great but I would gladly be a Guinea pig. |

I like the idea. It is difficult to get useful critiques! If you participate in the big Internet modeling/photography boards, almost every response you get falls into one of three categories:
(1) Useless gushing & praise, with no real critique (also true when dealing with friends/family). (2) Some arrogant jerk that doesn't understand the difference between 'good technique' and 'their opinion.' (3) Comments about how hot - or not - the model is. And at least here, since we are all locally connected, there will be less temptation to give obnoxious and/or non-constructive critiques. So I'm in. |

I have to chuckle at Bruce's post. You are so right about that. I've seen the worst photogs ever get praised and great photogs where the only replies were "wow..she's hot". I'd like to give this a shot and Max...if you want to be the guiness pig fine by me :). Only thing I ask is that we offer constructive feedback. Not everyone is gonna like everyone else photo but please keep it civilized and adult like.

Ok...not seeing the involvement on this that I've wanted. Sooooo...I'm gonna post an image and let you guys critique it for me. The image I'm posting is non edited and straight out of the camera. Be honest, tell me what you might do in Photoshop, etc to enhance it, what I should have done, etc. Your not gonna hurt my feeling trust me..I want this to be a beneficial open discussion. Also...tell me how it was lit, etc. A great way to learn is to look at an image and try and figure out how it was lit.

great photo btw... the bars on the right side could come out.. and basically i would just adjust the levels..
damn good picture right out of the camera though so not much needs to be done. as for lighting im sure natural light had a big part in it along with a reflector and more than likely a strobe. for fill light. |

Yes Jayme,
It is all natural light, no reflector's, no strobes. I try and use "natural" reflectors to bring in the light. The key is to really look for the light and see hows it's interacting. And as you know..natural light is constantly changing. I probably couldn't have used this spot 30 minutes later as the sun would have moved enough to lose the reflectiveness I wanted. And yep..I agree on those little bars :) KJ |

I was wondering if I could use your pic...to circle what I would change...so that it makes more sense?

 the mess of lines on the left, show where i would even out the silver to be as dark as the rest... the random circles would be small places i would clone out white marks or dust marks.... on the models back/butt, i can see the outline of her underwear, i would try to blend that in with cloning i would take out the bars on the far right.. and i would dodge and burn in face just a bit..... |
