There is no noise in the RAW files of these images. Neither in the high-quality jpeg conversion. Maybe their 500k compression shows noise.
Other than the unfocused diamond rings, I don't see any problems with focus. You must also keep in mind that its dark 1/2 the time when these images are taken. Its not the same as taking 3 hours to shoot a bug or following a cat around to get a good shot. There are other things to shoot
Yeah that's for sure possible.... but I didn't know that sorry. Yes, I didn't say all of the focus was wrong, I meant that it was unfocused on the diamond rings.
Also for all the explanations here it would be easier to critique them if you gave an explanation as to if you shot in the dark or what not. I said what I thought but I guess they are better in RAW. I said that the focus was off and you say that you shot them in the dark. Yes, I understand that it's hard doing that in the dark no one is perfect. Just trying to make you understand my point of view. Maybe bring some lights with ya next time?
As to all the people arguing in here, there was already a verbal warning to it, so just to warn you, you might get a little warn if this continues.

Im about to go to university and dont have the time to go through all of it ( yet )
or check for what might have happened before especially between the 2 of you...
Be sure that i will do so and although i do not have right to warn or suspend people myself,
there are enough people who can do it for me if needed and we will take appropriate actions
to maintain the reputation and atmosphere this place is know for in the past.
It looks like we need to protect you from yourself a little because with this kind of behaviour
you are destroying a lot of what you worked so hard for in the past and you make people feel uncomfortable here.
Just on some general remark to the situation i found here when i woke up:
Im quite disappointed whats going on here lately and about the behaviour in some cases.
This subforum always was a very special place and i enjoyed going here
because of the special people and their very mature and friendly behaviour.
This is what separated this place from the every day spaming, flaming and such that happens in too many other forums.
Im not an expert of photography myself, but i love to troll through this forum
to look at all the fantastic works and give some feedback for the artists if i feel able to.
It was always a very family like atmosphere and i want this to remain in the future.
The function of a critique is to give a feedback to the artists so that he can improve him/herself and the works.
To give some encouragement and a little commendation for the hard work.
Naturally, it can not always be positive, sometimes it is indeed appropriate to give suggestions what might have been better.
If this is right or wrong is another question. Of course opinions can be manifold or contradictory, thats just a matter of fact.
Nevertheless, especially these kinds of discussions are vital for improvement
and exactly this can help for the future of everyones photography career.
Everyone should be mature enough to take good feedback for what it is and to write a feedback properly not attack each other.
This is what little kids do because they cant deal with it and need a protection shield.
We are all adults or on the way to be adults. Therefore act like that.
Not everyone feels able to give a professional feedback, sometimes its just a little "well done".
Important is the "how" you deliver your message and also how you write the feedback.
Being rude or attack someone wont help. If you cant manage this, dont bother posting at all.
If something or someone provokes you and you see things different,
you can talk about it together or get a third person to mediate.
And if you see no basis to come together on a point, just leave each other and go different ways...
One can not get along with everyone in this world, but this doesnt give you the right to smash each others heads.
If you decide to argue just make sure to take a deep breath before you vent something out
and to treat the other with respect they deserve and how you yourself would like to be treated.
Im tired to see senseless spam and flames at this place...
Take this as my last verbal warning to all involved people to stop it before we will stop it. Thanks...
