Ignore It (It'll go away)
Welcome to this critique thread. Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines/ground rules regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this thread is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
Guidelines/Ground Rules
The thread has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in this thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants.
• Please, only join this thread if you are able post an image within 24 hours of joining.
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image(s)
• Please abide by any thematic requirement (e.g., landscape, portrait, etc.)
•The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photos should be standard screen resolution (72~90) and the longest side of the image approximately 10 inches in length.
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.

Well, we are ready, it seems!
Nachkebia: The perfect moment to press the shutter release, very funny and lively shot. No serious stuff to comment, so i will be superficial and say, cleaning up the white specks would help a bit; also, on the left I would cutr the image down to the table only. I'm not a cropping maniac, but sometimes i consider it.
Jon: The subject and the colours/grain/harsh light fit very well in the image. I would maybe like the fish a little little bit more in focus so they are easier to see/recognize (?).
formal: You guys are cruel, your images are too good I can't pull together a proper "constructive" criticism! The blur gives a good sense of motion, action; maybe i would have waited half a second so the two persons on the right edge would disappear. But then, maybe the other person would have stepped into the frame and break everything...don't know.
ampguy: Good shot, i like the solitude of the small girl between the big shells. To push more on this, i think the person on the left is unnecessary in the image, as well as the books on the rectangular table. The bright window on the left also distracts a little bit.

Nachkebia - intriguing, the doll looks lifelike, nice shadows and grain.
Jon - interesting use of OOF foreground and expression on the lady's face. Where was this taken?
formal - another nice foreground OOF. The motorcycles make the photo appear recent, but the b&w bldg., and outfits of the guards look old. The bldg. on the left draws the eye, but I'm not sure what's there.
Pherdinand - my eyes are drawn to the seller's face, but it's obscured by the pole. Other than that the images are interesting, I wonder what a wider view would have shown?

not a doll?
not a doll?
is it a large ping pong table? If it were a real person, I'd be surprised that Diane Arbus didn't already photograph her in some goth clothing getup
