- The best way to improve at photography, is to exercise your critical eye. The ability to hone in on what bothers you in a photograph is an incredibly important skill to learn, and is pivotal to getting better at photography. In this video I critique some of your submitted images. If you would like more of these videos, let me know in the comments below!
You can email me at sendnickphotos@gmail.com to have your images included in the next critique

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!
Nick you are generous with your teaching skills.
The esoteric you avoid so well.
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!
Yes, please! I love these critiques and seeing the tools and tricks that you use to enhance the submitted photos.
I second this motion!
I agree-I enjoy your gentle critique style!
Love your thought process. This is the perfect example of how to do a critique like a professional. Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼
Love that very first tip about colour casts. Thanks for this vid!
I always enjoy watching top photographers critique other photographer's photos. I learn so much frrom this. Cheers.
I love these. You are so constructive and respectful in your criticism. Even if none of these were my images, I found the video really inspiring and helpful to what to look for when I try to compose/edit my own photos.
Packed full of awesome insights, advice, techniques and wrapped up with a honest viewpoint too!! Bravo to all who submitted their shots also !! Well done Mr. P
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.
Love the critique on several planes, all of which are noted in prior comments. I vote YES for MORE, and once a week would be a delight!
I love it, we miss you Nick. Please give us more of your content.
Halos... "They are the devil Bobby Boucher" 😂 Love it. Great video Nick, and awesome images everyone. Beautiful
You're one of my favourites whether it's tutorials like this or out in the environment. I hope you can continue to make these. I have supported you a few times in the past. I hope to see you around here.
Very useful - not just getting the critique, but also learning how to deal with the issues in post-processing. Thanks, Nick!
Great stuff, Nick! I love that not only do you point out issues, but you take the time to show how you'd fix them.
Yes, I learn so much from these critiques. So keep them coming.
Alberto's shots were amazing!
Not that the others' were bad, but this guy is on another level.
Great editing tips too, thanks! Hope my shot get's picked next time :)
Yes, more please. Really helpful both for the critique but also the excellent processing tips for fixing /enhancing.
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
Great critique session - would love to see more of these! The honest feedback together with the suggestions for how to improve the image is a super useful combination. Thanks Nick!
I would like to see these as a weekly video. I get a lot of things to improve on my photos from these critiques.
Great video, Nick! Yes, yes, I want more of this king of video. This helps everyone, for sure.
Really enjoyed this video. Yes please do more. Thank you Nick.
I really enjoy these kind of videos. I mostly use Lightroom when I edit my photos, but seeing this makes me wanna spend more time in photoshop. Thank you so much for sharing, Nick. You're one of my favorite photographers and you make photoshop look so easy :D Amazing!
This is an awesome video, very good objective feedback, no BS, straight goods, tight. Welcome more of these.
I absolutely love this, and would love to see you make this a regular series. SOOOO helpful to go through critique exercises. plus I missed the chance to submit and would love to have an opportunity to hear your thoughtful feedback to push me to improve!!! Thanks, Nick. You are real gem.
Great video Nick, please do more! Your perspective and critiques are very educational. However, I think that one of your great strengths is the magic that you can do in post-processing. You have a real skill for maximizing the impact of an image through the subtle sculpting of light, color, and contrast in a very sophisticated manner. For example, your tips about differences in handling foreground vs mid/background shadows and linear gradient in the sky vs a vignette. I am trying to move more of my editing from LR into PS so, I really appreciate seeing how you use PS to affect these changes. The odd repair tips are great as well such as the sharpening halo repair and cloning bright leaves to cover hot spots in the forest. Keep these coming!
I think the photo in the 6:29 minute is the best.
He who took this picture is very creative guy. I want to appriciate him.
Nice job. Altrim.
Thanks Nick. That was a really useful tutorial. Quickly fixing colour casts with a curves layer was quite a revelation to me. I'm looking forward to you critiquing some more of the 300+ images
I've been a photographer for many years but never have done post-processing other than cropping, because I wanted to hone my craft as part of the *experience* of taking a great photo, not how to edit one. But I can definitely see how it can help images I was sad about not being able to "perfectly" capture the lighting, or what-have-you. I've always been intimidated by Photoshop, so I use Lightroom to cull/crop my images, but you definitely make it look easy. Great vid!
Yep , would love to see more of these , your photoshop fixes are so useful
Super useful video. So much information that really helps me with my own photography. Amazing Nick, thank you
I love critique videos. I very often go back to my own images afterwards and look at them in a new light with a new eye on how they look and how I can improve next time. These types of videos are so educational not to mention the tips on how to remove things like halos and colour casts as in this one. More please!
Just watched this and I learned so much. Please consider doing more!
This was wonderful. Yes. Please continue to do these.
Thanks, Nick, extremely useful video. I appreciate your time and your constructive suggestions. Please do more when you have time.
Nick, thanks a lot, that was great critique. I kindly ask continue to do new episodes of Critical eye.
❤Thank you, Nick! I very much appreciate you and the time spent …. I learned quite a bit.
Terry
I love watching these videos! I learn so much about how to look for the flaws in my own post-processing.
Nick, you are the man! Keep up the great work brother; I learn something from you every time I watch one of your videos!
Can't wait for the next episode! Great images and great tips Nick!
Hi Nick, love this video, your style and your wisdom...please do more
Wow some really great pics for you guys that submitted...good job.
I would LOVE to more of these videos. Learning all kinds of things here.
Yes please Nick, more critiques. This was so helpful, on really looking plus PS techniques. Brilliant! Thanks.
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.
Great video Nick! I really love this type of content, it really helps everyone trying to improve their editing skills in photoshop (which is so much more powerful than Lightroom) and things to think about when editing a photo. Please make more! 😁❤
I always learn something useful. Thanks, Nick!
Definitely helpful Nick - would love to see more of these!
Fantastic tutorial, Nick. Please do more. And kudos to the terrific shots submitted.
Thank you, Nick. This is really helpful. I need this type of input right now. Job well done. Many thanks to those who submitted photos; some beautiful images in the mix.
Love this type of video where we're learning Photoshop tips and honing our critical eye. I'd love to see one of these per week.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Nick. Great lesson.
Wealth of knowledge. I didn’t NOT know about the Photoshop Curves embedded option. Thank you Nick. That is super helpful and makes a HUGE difference in photos. Wow!
I need more of these! It it so helpful in developing my photography and editing skills. Thank you!
I love these! Getting to see new people's work and learning something new every time. I have a lot of the same critiques of some of my own shots, but didn't know how exactly to fix them before. I always get excited to go edit after watching these. Thanks Nick. you're the man.
yes, I'd love to see more critiques! My take-away was use of the luminocity adjustments. Awesome.
Would love to see a video like this once a week!
Love watching these to help develop that eye. Thanks Nick, great stuff
Yes please. This is one of the best ways to improve my skills.
This critical eye series helps me tremendously. Please continue, it has already changed the way I do my post processing.
Hey Nick, loved your input and quick and easy fixes. (but then again, love all of your videos) THANKS!!!!
Wow! Excellent information and tutorial Nick. Would love to see more scenarios - Thank you so much from NZ
Yes, Keep them coming. You are a God sent. This critique session { just by chance} met me right where I'm at in my art studies. (I don't believe in by chances}.You Have the gift of teaching, Thanks so much.
Yes, this is very useful. I'd like to see more of this sort of critique. And I particularly appreciate that the suggestions for improvement are generic enough that they can be adopted even if one is not using an Adobe product for editing.
Love it, more videos of exercising your critical eye would be awesome. Great critique and showing solutions to making some beautiful images even better. Thank you.
Thanks for doing this Nick, I got so much out of this video. I would love to see more!
Thank you Nick! I agree with other folks! This was most helpful! Please, PLEASE do this type of content weekly! Thank you as always for being such an incredible inspiration!
Thank you for this! Brilliant tips! Damn I missed this session but hopefully you’ll do another 🙏🏻🤞🏻
Great session, Nick! Would love to see more of these episodes. If only I had the courage to send an image or two!
Nick - totally agree and would like to see more of these. You do a great job of explaining your thoughts on each image. Your video actually sent me back to check some of my own for color casts. Definitely enjoyed hanging out with you!
Hey Nick, thank you for taking the time to critique my image. Its a huge honor. All your suggestions are really spot on and I find them extremely helpful. I especially love the idea of reducing the complex foreground to create a simpler image. With that in mind, perhaps I will go back some day to take another shot.
Really enjoy this sort of video Nick and learn so much; please keep doing them!
One of my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for this!
oh man, definitely would love more of your critiques please!
really really really enjoyed this video, not only were the picture superb but i learned so much. Thank you, looking forward to seeing some more.
Thanks Nick. The color casting solution is very helpful.
Super cool! Thumbs up to repeat it once a week, please!!!
A very helpful video for me, both from an artistic aesthetic perspective and also from a technical Photoshop editing perspective. Most appreciated.
Once a week review will be awesome. Love this .. thanks Nick

Lots of good tips here, Nick. Thank you!
I love this photo critique! I will create an action for your curves layer technique and use it often. Thanks and looking forward to seeing more critiques from you!
wow what a great critique and really helpful for dealing with colour casts. I will definitely be able to apply this to some of my own images. Thanks Nick 👍
Hey Nick, thanks a million for taking the time and analyzing my images! You gave me some great ideas on what to look and why some creative decisions can be too much at times (like the color cast). Thanks again (Mikel from Spain)
Some fantastic photos! I really enjoy these retouching episodes. I leaned a lot. 👍👍
Very interesting and I learned a lot. I missed on submitting a photo. Thanks Nick!
Thank You! Always learning something new from your channel. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Hi Nick, thanks for this video and for this opportunity, I do think it helps all of us to develop a critical eye and improve our next shots from the beginning down to post processing them, as well as learning few tricks in PS! Thanks again, keep them coming!
Definitely hope it becomes a weekly thing! Thanks for that "alt/opt +Auto" trick!
