Peek-a-boo

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Cute moment, lovely creatures... Try playing with the image a bit in PP with levels/curves etc, might give it more "pop"...

One question, why F10?

f/10 because its a nice round number.. :lol:
not really, I reckoned that was enough to keep the wallaby and joey in focus and blur the background a bit, from the distance I was taking it.

I did play with the levels a bit, and settled on its current appearance, I think the subject stands out well from the background and looks natural as it is, and any more contrast and it starts to look fake, IMO. I dont like going too far from how things look naturally for my nature photography... but you're welcome to disagree ;)

time to turn the comp off and head up the hill, theres a storm on its way.
