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.

Welcome to the forum, and some great nature shots here my favourite would be the water dragon, nice lighting, good seperation from the background.
As Yip has indicated there are a few rules about posting images in this section, it helps people review and critique you work a little easier, by keeping the image size down and it limited to 4 photos, what way the feedback you get is more helpful and meaningful.
Welcome again.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Bindii, your water dragon is very nice  As Yi-P said, we try to limit posts to 4 images under 800 pixs so that people who don't have access to broadband etc can still share the experience

Welcome Bindi!! I too prefer the water dragon shot, the other critique that I could offer is that I find that the background of the pond blends in too much with the birds wings in shot 2, but they are all very good! Look forward to seeing more from you

Welcome to the forum Bindii
I also think the water dragon shot is the oick here. It's well lit and composed and nice and sharp. Mind you the others aren't too bad either

Welcome to the forum Bindii. The detail in that water dragon is excellent. That's a cute little chap in the last shot. Huge eyes.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
As I'm particularly interested in wedding photography (but still a novice), I would like to see your website of wedding shots if possible.
Cheers
John

I love the lizard one. I believe it is the same beast that attacked me Sunday afternoon; maybe it was not in the mood for any more photos or perhaps realized I would ruin its good looks and tried to keep the standards. Now, I love the expression on the child's face, but the colours in all of them are fantastic, they are sharp and crisp images. Well done!

Love the dragon shot (and the others), dragons are good to photograph because they sit still for long periods of time. Now, if they could somehow teach dragonflies the procedure...

I agree, the photos are great. Fantastic focus, color and love the human interest in the final picture - now if only you could combine the water dragon with the kid ....would make for interesting pic! he he he!
