    Hello Nick, this is flat-out the best photo critique video I have seen yet! Not only is your analysis spot-on and covers all the important aspects, but you also give awesome editing tips! PLEEEAZZZE, do more of these!

    What I’m getting out of these critiques, is the fact that it gets me thinking more critically about the photos that I’ve captured recently and to revisit them again and as not be satisfied with “…well, that’s good enough…” thanks for the motivation Nick!

    Hi Nick, it´s always great to hang out with you . Admittedly, I also saw the weaknesses but also the strengths of the pictures fairly quickly, but if only it comes to my own pictures I'm kind of blind, and more sessions of this kind would be great.

      Not me. I have to look at my photos a couple times a week & I might not see something for a month or more, saying to myself, dmm, Can't believe I missed that. That is where doing a test print helps me out.

    Fantastic video review and advices. The trick of the adjustments with the curves is masterful. I am very grateful for your comments on my photos. For me it is a true honor and I am very happy. Looking forward to see your next videos. Greetings from Zamora

    Thank you for taking the time to do critiques! Your way of commenting and adding tips and tricks to repair some of the image issues is awesome!! I would LOVE to see a weekly series but I also know that it takes a lot of time to do these. The fixing blown highlights with foliage was mind blowing for me, I have fought with blown highlights in trees for years and OMG I felt dumb when you fixed that so easily LOL. The neutralizing colorcasts is a method that I have never seen before and will be SO helpful. I am now on my way back to my most recent work to relook at all of them with a better eye.
    Thank you, this is one of the most informative critiques that I have watched.

  • @Photosbytw
    @Photosbytw Рік тому

    Super!! I've always appreciated critiques of images, whether it's mine or another photographer's. I live in a very rural community that is limited in the amount of additional photog's who would be willing, or brave enough, to allow their work to be critiqued. So, I use youtube as a quasi-photo club. Honestly, some of what's being offered tend to put me to sleep(including a few of yours) but I'm wide awake and alert when critiques are given. Your critiques are very informative and impressive, so; DON'T STOP!!
