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.

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.

Jeff, nice shots mate. That new lens sure looks sharp, with good contrast and colours. I sure hope my new baby comes up to this standard! The images are really good, with the foreground comprssed nicely by the lens.

Looks like I'll be At Wakefield Park on a Sunday, so we may get a chance to catch up.

Cheers and well done!

Jeff the first two appear to be way over shapened . What are you using to sharpen in post ?

I'm not familiar with Nikon capture . ( i shoot canon and edit with photoshop ) The unsharpen mask name adjustment levers are different but i'm guessing they are similar .
This is what i use after i've finished converting from RAW and then any additions like curves or levels etc.in Photoshop . I unsharpen mask at these settings before resizing.
Photoshop = Amount ( intensity ) 300
Photoshop = Radius ( Halo ) 0.3
Photoshop = Threshhold ( threshold ) 0

If your shooting JPEG . Lower the Amount a bit and / or raise the threshold.

Hope that helps .
