These are truly educational critiques. Again Mr Rudis shows care and understanding for the image. He offers thoughts and alternatives to explain his ‘choice’ to finish the image. There are no smoke and mirrors here and no judgements. Good clear explanations and praise for the effort used to create the image. How good is this!

I have enjoyed all I have seen. Some of the information flies over my head, but better too much than not enough. I am so techie oriented that artistic areas are difficult for me, but I am understanding those areas a little better each time. Thanks for your hard work.

This compilation of black and white critiques has shown in just a few steps, how the images submitted can be taken to a another higher level. While the images submitted are excellent as displayed, Blake’s critiques and adjustments take them from “oh nice” to “OH WOW”!! I’ve also found that as I go through each image’s critique, I gain another level of understanding of Photoshop and how I can apply different tools and/or techniques to my own images, and my knowledge of Photoshop increases with each critique.

The critiques show new approaches and techniques to improve photos. Also, the composition discussions make you think about how to improve your images. I refer to tips presented the critique sessions many times to help solve processing issues in my photos.

The Black and White Critiques are a great part of the education .. I always have learned so much from the critiques which Blake gives on f/64 Elite to submitted images each month. I did not hesitate to buy this package and have been pleased with what I have learned as a result.. Blake is a natural teacher, so easy to listen to and follow his logical steps.

These things are very subjective but I found the ability to see someone else’s journey through a photograph very instructive.

Seeing Blake‘s critiques that are targeted on black-and-white processing are really helpful in showing you how the software can be applied. In addition it gives valuable overall insights into the processing of photos, in this case especially black-and-white. I find the critiques very helpful, others will too because they can help you answer questions that you didn’t know you had until you watched them!
