  • This week we had so many amazing images submitted. In this video we go through a handful of them, and talk about the importance of color separation, tone, and visual flow.
    You can email me at sendnickphotos@gmail.com to have your images included in the next critique

    Really enjoy these videos. Shout out to ALL the images supplied. Some incredible images from the viewers. I’m learning so much and re training myself 👍🏼👍🏼

    You're so humble and modest about your talents. There's this sense of genuine sincerity in you that, I guess, makes you a charming and approachable person. Keep up this series please, Nick!

    It shows the level of respect the photography community has for your critical eye Nick when folks at such an obvious advanced level would subject their work for critique. So many 'AHA' moments in your suggestions so thanks to those who are open to opinions and to being life long learners! One nugget I tucked away is not making the reflection brighter than the original subject and the reasons behind that. Thanks!

    Thanks for using my photo first! Appreciate all the tips shared and kudos to all the other photographers out there

    This is the kind of video I love. No clickbait like "pros do this that beginners don't", just pure information, straightforward. This is the kind of think I could paid for ! Thank you !

    luv your modesty Fella...I think I can say we al just don't follow because you are a great photographer and post processor......you are very genuine and down to earth fella and luv what you do....keep up the great work.

  • @DaveBerthiaume
    @DaveBerthiaume ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Love these sessions. My only suggestion would be to mix-in some images from mere mortals occasionally, too. All these images are spectacular, professional-level photos that only need minor adjustments IMHO.

    • @NickPage
      @NickPage  ปีที่แล้ว +11

      That is fair, we had a pretty impressive batch in this video, it was not intentional I promise! Pretty humbling even for myself to look at!

    Just another comment to say thanks for starting this series and for the great example you give for critiquing images. Kudos to all the subscribers who submit their images too.

  • @louisedanforth8079
    @louisedanforth8079 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your critiques, they add so much to the perspective of the possible viewer of our images.
    My critical eye is slowly developing, but I get my daughter to come in and look before I finish a photo edit for a fresh perspective. She gives me some great feedback but nothing beats watching critiques like these to help train our eye for our own work. Thank you for doing such a great session.

    AGree with every one of your edit suggestions with the exception of the final one. I think that image was perfect almost as it was - in particular the symmetry of the tree height and reflection depth. Great video.

    All photographs were mind-blowing! Thanks so much Nick for the critique on my image (Abu-last one) and putting it on the thumbnail. I am so honored and humbled as I learned from you over the years.
    Looking forward to more critique sessions. Nobody does it better than you, especially in landscape photography

    • @kj3d812

      @Framed-Tales Jibon Asib Personally, I liked your original image better than the edited/critiqued one. 🙂

    Really enjoying this format, and learning a lot. Looking forward to the next one. I suggest You call this Developing your Critical Eye Episode 2 Make it a kind of regular show once or twice a month.

  • @michaelginsberg8100
    @michaelginsberg8100 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love your critiques and the way you give constructive feedback. That is a real skill. So difficult to develop the critical eye, especially when looking at one's own images sitting in front of a screen on your lonesome. 👀

  • @tjcuneo

    Enjoyed the critique and the images that you selected. I hope you continue the critiques as part of your channel.

  • @cioran66
    @cioran66 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks again Nick. I really enjoy your critique sessions. They're very helpful and maybe even more benefiting than the 'in the field ones' which are probably ten times the work for you! However, of course I would certainly miss that if it wouldn't happen anymore ;)

  • @farglemeister

  • @edc641
    @edc641 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow, those photos are beyond what I've ever managed to captured. On this level I guess it often comes down to personal preference rather than something being "wrong" with the photos. I really enjoy watching these kind of videos, so helpful for improving my own photography. Excellent critique, and I think the (minor) adjustments made make the photos go from excellent to a little more excellent. Thank you so much for sharing! 👍

    This photography series impresses with its strong direction on composition. The additional insights on color theory and unique post-processing techniques sets it apart. It’s a standout choice for those seeking to refine their photography skills.

  • @jstpsgthru

    I think the photos you bring up are astounding, but your editing transforms them into works of art. Really nice!

    Some great photos this week, what I did miss over the first critique video was that you worked more of the Raw images last time, your processing work is amazing, and I learn something new each time you do that!

  • @DobromirManchev

  • @spookysandwich1355
    @spookysandwich1355 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    awesome vid but i have to disagree with the heavy crop on the last image the snow one , you need that tree on the left to help anchor the scene and acts as a great feature to stop viewers eye from moving out the image also the fact it helps balance the picture as a whole :) all the best from the UK

  • @Erwan_DL
    @Erwan_DL ปีที่แล้ว

    I absolutely loved this video, please keep those coming! You definitely have some very talented photographers (which I am definitely not) in your audience, there were some outright stunning images in there.

  • @BrettWoodPhoto
    @BrettWoodPhoto ปีที่แล้ว

    Everytime I watch your videos I feel like a very inferior photographer, I don’t mean that in a negative way, as I’m forever a student of photography, excellent insight from someone who has learnt from experience & made the effort to learn. I particularly like the theory of low contrast shadows, thanks Nick 🤓

  • @ko300zx

  • @waynecoles6041
    @waynecoles6041 ปีที่แล้ว

    These videos are great and when you have snippets of editing tips, its super useful. The photos in here are far far better than any I've made, so I don't think I could bring myself to submit any of my photos. Mine are improving, but a long way off from being able to have any of these shown either side of them :) But the critique videos are super useful and interesting!

    Absolutely love these critique shows nick! I sent some images I just wasn’t so sure on and you nailed what I couldn’t see. And some I tried to fake in some light haha. But like you said in the beginning. It’s about understanding light and the more of these critiques we do, the more we understand. Thank you!

  • @jlid1
    @jlid1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video Nick! I really enjoyed that a lot. I love the way you critique other people's images, always helpful and always very respectful. I've also noticed that sometimes you only need to make a tiny little tweek to your original edit, to make it better. That's why it's important to walk away, give your eyes a break, and come back later and maybe see some slight detail you may have missed the first time. Always a pleasure watching whatever you do, thanks Nick!!

  • @jacquesgude
    @jacquesgude ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Very much hope you continue these critiques moving forward. Also, after watching several of your videos over the last couple days, I'm definitely going to have to add full versions of Lumenzia and TK8 to Mac, especially now that I understand both work on the Apple M1 Silicon Macbook Pros, because it's clear to me that working with luminosity masks (which I've never done) can take my work to a whole new level.

    • @miklosrajczi7570
      @miklosrajczi7570 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Brett. My pictures are blends usually. The Milkyways for sure because the sky and the foreground always shoot separately. The foreground is usually stacked and light-painted or a pano-stack like the horizontal milky way image. The thunderstrike picture is actually a single-shot image. :P I was standing on the roof for 2 hours for that frame.

    • @BrettCarstens
      @BrettCarstens ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@miklosrajczi7570 Thanks for the response. That thunderstrike is the one that seems most unlikely. So nice work catching that one! It's amazing. But stay off rooftops in lightning storms. 👍
