Critiquing your Images // Developing your Critical Eye

[@christophmunch4796]

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!

[@Kev2Bee]

Nick you are generous with your teaching skills. The esoteric you avoid so well.

[@danmckee4988]

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!

[@robbymillerphotography]

Yes, please! I love these critiques and seeing the tools and tricks that you use to enhance the submitted photos.

[@P.W.R.]

I second this motion!

[@carmenspratt7290]

I agree-I enjoy your gentle critique style!

[@johnskyler2728]

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.

[@photosonthebay9341]

Love your thought process. This is the perfect example of how to do a critique like a professional. Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼

[@marvinbeatty]

Love that very first tip about colour casts. Thanks for this vid!

[@KellyPettit]

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.

[@christalsigrid2450]

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!

[@maureenmiller2746]

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!

[@DobromirManchev]

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 :)

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

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

[@Wheeljack678]

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.

[@wismokey]

I would like to see these as a weekly video. I get a lot of things to improve on my photos from these critiques.

[@Txaguin]

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

[@rickbrowne519]

Very useful - not just getting the critique, but also learning how to deal with the issues in post-processing. Thanks, Nick!

[@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Super useful video. So much information that really helps me with my own photography. Amazing Nick, thank you

[@samarthdev4470]

I love it, we miss you Nick. Please give us more of your content.

[@keiwank1530]

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.

[@thomastuorto9929]

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.

[@janemetcalfe2393]

Yes, more please. Really helpful both for the critique but also the excellent processing tips for fixing /enhancing.

[@ericstrege6657]

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.

[@chrisrinaldi5936]

Yes, I learn so much from these critiques. So keep them coming.

[@louisedanforth8079]

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.

[@annvarley9204]

yes, I'd love to see more critiques! My take-away was use of the luminocity adjustments. Awesome.

[@ionutvlad]

Great video, Nick! Yes, yes, I want more of this king of video. This helps everyone, for sure.

[@Anna-rm5bp]

Yes please. This is one of the best ways to improve my skills.

[@ashleywilliams9890]

This is an awesome video, very good objective feedback, no BS, straight goods, tight. Welcome more of these.

[@junliu8816]

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.

[@chriselkinton141]

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!

[@christheking1]

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!

[@reesmarkham2140]

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.

[@chrishall6364]

Really enjoy this sort of video Nick and learn so much; please keep doing them!

[@Photosbytw]

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!!

[@stsorsby]

Very interesting, would like to see more videos like this, Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@dfreitas853]

Hey Nick, loved your input and quick and easy fixes. (but then again, love all of your videos) THANKS!!!!

[@marcocudin8262]

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!

[@santiagojakas472]

Super cool! Thumbs up to repeat it once a week, please!!!

[@gr8_22-15]

Good stuff. These types of vids are always super beneficial.

[@ethan....]

love these critiques! Definitely should do more of them!

[@runswithbeer]

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!

[@valpayne2963]

Yes please Nick, more critiques. This was so helpful, on really looking plus PS techniques. Brilliant! Thanks.

[@mikeljuaristi958]

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)

[@tjcuneo]

This was very helpful and would enjoy similar sessions in the future. Thanks.
