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.

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.

The first of my images from the meet today at ZigZag railway. These obviously concentrate on the train itself...
(Stupidity set in and I left the ISO on 640, which I'd had set for the internal photos! Oh well - live and learn!)
My favourite from the day so far:
12-24DX @ 12mm, f14 1/125th ISO640
Kit lens @ 70mm, f16 1/80th ISO640
Kit lens @ 70mm, f16 1/160th ISO640

Love the first two Leon,
I like the perspective you got on the first.
It was a great day for it, blue sky, a few clouds, great. Sorry I couldn't be there, just too many things on right now.
Looking forward to some more from you and the rest of the participants.
cheers,
André

Don't let me stop you from posting your pics!!! Even if your pics are similar, there will be something slightly unique about them - and we all benefit from seeing how others approach the same subject - this is one of the strengths of this forum
It was a great day Gary - can't speak highly enough of the people who give their time up for the place, our guides and drivers were all friendly and genuinely happy to have us there. Even the maintenance guys were helpful and more than willing to pass on info  We will have to do this one again next year sometime - maybe by then I'll be a bit fitter and be able to join Pippin, etc on the walk down!

I love steam trains. Used to be a fireman back when British Railways existed. All are great shots. My fav is the first. Great wide angle view.

Must be the odd man out eher, #1 doesn't grab me - the angle is too forced. #2 and #3 OTOH are great. Shame I couldn't be there.
