What side do you fall on?+Behind the Lens: Photo Critique Group #BTLCritique I have seen a pile of discussions on Color Vs. B&W and how both are what you use them for and how you use them and why you should or should not like them.. Where do you like B&W vs. Color and do you always think when you see a color ot B&W image what it might look like in B&W or color or the way it was not originally prsented or do you take it as thats the only version you are going to get?

Latest shot before I remove Photoshop and Lightroom and reinstall everything to hopefully correct my very strange color issues… It has a bit of nudity in the shot – Please take a moment to go look – If you do not have a +500px account you can see it here on my site also: http://500px.com/photo/3708524 Direct on my site:http://blackdiamondproductions.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dr1.jpg I would really appreciate some feedback and critiques as to emotion and look of the shot. Here in this thread would be great vs. on 500px, but feel to comment there and vote if you wish…. I have been taking a ton of time lately to re-develop my look at style and i need to know if I am going in the right direction. That would be impossible without great feedback like I can get here. Take a moment to comment with your thoughts… Everyone that comments will go into my new cool critiquers circle….for use and sharing out later….

Behind the Lens – Photo Critique Let's call this a critique of what you do with images that you want to make different…. or push your normal style…. What do you do? How do you experiment? Do your experiments work or are you turned off by others that do not like those experiments? Do you forge ahead and try to push your work and your styles and are you worried about making mistakes and sharing them out for the world to see? Also feel free to critique this experiment in styles….. View this post on Google+

#BTLcritique #glamour Critique for a Critique Ok – so G+ has been driving me to try to process at least one image a day.. I have to be honest and say I have not done that in some time.. I edit and shoot when I can..and I have been happy with that in the past.. it seems like I am noo longer happy with that or G+ is slowly taking over the motivation zone in my brain to actually apply myself more to photography. So here is the deal… take a moment to drop a critique here on this image and post a link for a shot you want me to critique of yours….. The community here is very strong with talented people and I would love to see more sharing and asking for critiques on images. Fear not – put your work out there and share it, let it all hang out and ask for those critiques…. I know everyone I have received here on the BTLcritique group has helped or pushed me to become a stronger photographer. This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+
#BTLcritique #glamour If mild nudity does not bother you – please take a look and shoot me back comments on what you think, love or hate… I have to say I like this shot…I am not totally sure why, maybe its the story, maybe its something most of us guys would want to see… maybe its to show the power women can wield..with just a gaze… I want to see how a critique thread works on a offsite linked image…. seeing I know many of us are looking for critiques on images that might not fall into the TOS here.. http://500px.com/photo/2828576 I try to shoot all my work with total respect to the models…….It sure takes more creativity to try to show sexuality than just blatantly nude shots….
