Help Us, Help You!
Posting an image for critique is an excellent way to rapidly improve any photographers ability to create beautiful images. You can help those offering image critiques by listing details of the capture process.
Listed below are some of the details to include in your post that will help you receive the best critique possible.
Thought Process
- Were you creating a Portrait?
- An Environmental Image etc.
- What obstacles did you face in creating your image?
- If an animal, what species? Was your subject captive? Did you attract your subject or subjects into photographic range with food, water, audio, or any other means?
- Was your image significantly altered by adding or removing elements of the composition post shutter?
- Time of day, weather conditions etc.
Capture
- Lens Focal Length and Model
- ISO, Metering Mode, Exposure Mode
- Exposure Compensation (if used)
Post Processing
- Cloning or other modification
You don't need to list all of the above (it would be the most helpful) but list as much as you can and any other factors that had an affect on the final image.
