Critique #14 Theme *Portrait* Needs More Participants
Welcome to this critique thread. Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines/ground rules regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this thread is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
Guidelines/Ground Rules
The thread has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in this thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image(s)
• Please abide by any thematic requirement (e.g., landscape, portrait, etc.)
•The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.
If you'd like to participate in a critique thread and need some ideas about how to proceed with viewing images critically, you may find this thread helpful:
How do you look at photos
You can also provide feedback on critique threads here:
Critique Feedback Thread
Remember: Please do not provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted.
This thread is now active, please follow the guidelines if you'd like to participate! Have Fun!

Well Big G, one of us has cooties I guess. Or there are only two or three of us on this forum who shoot pictures of real people up close and personal. You know, when you actually have to talk to the subject and let them know you are taking a picture.

Hmmmn ..alright.. I'm in.
It's hard here in the southern hemisphere to get a foot into these great critique threads becasue they usually fill up while i'm asleep!
Portraits (particularly more formal ones) are certainly not my forte, but I'm here to learn so might as well get in amongst it.

Glad to have you and thank you for participating. And the way this thread is filling up so far the time zone differences won't matter at all. Besides we have as much time as it takes for all of us to participate.

Can someone define "Portrait"? Do street candids count?
Thanks,

your interpretation, warren. a street candid might fit the street photography theme a little better, but it can blend into the portrait theme too.

Okay, thanks. In that case, I'll give it a try. I don't have too many formal portraits in my portfolio .
I'm in.

Here is mine. Portrait of David. Minolta 7000, Plus-X. I don't recall what I used to develop it but it was enlarged on my Daylab to 8x10".

OK, this is another critique with lff, whose account seems to have been deleted.
We need one more person. Not that I'm stalling for time (heh); but I'm serious; we're lacking one person.

Gabriel, how does my account show up as deleted? It's only 24 hours since I was last on here & I'm still able to log in & post on these threads.
I will admit that my account seems a bit odd on my end as well. I have an avatar uploaded & many other bits of info about me are checked in my CP, but none of this info shows up with my posts. I know this isn't the place to resolve these issues, but I've been wondering for a few weeks now.

Well then, if lff still exists, then let's go with 6 participants in this thread. How about that?

Iff - FYI there's been a bit of non-community-condusive skullduggerry on the site and hotmail yahoo and maybe msn based accounts are not readily accepted anymore.
send a message to the moderators (back alley,kim coxton, rover)and they may be able to assist. |
