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.

After some positive comments from rooboy in another thread, just thought I'd share this one with a wider audience. Taken on my honeymoon in NZ a few months ago. I think I blurted out something along the lines of "been married a few days and already want to jump off a bridge" just before the jump. 
It's one of those fluke one-in-a-thousand shots. I can't take credit for it though - taken by my wife whilst I was doing the jump (probably the 2nd or 3rd time she's used my D80). I set the camera to continous fire and just told her to keep me in the viewfinder whilst mashing the shutter release.
JPG out of the camera, only post-processing is a little cropping to remove some distracting elements on the edges. Can't do much in terms of composition, but any tips to improve the post processing will be appreciated. Still lots to learn!

Terrific image, and a great reminder for you.
The panning has nicely provided the viewer with the free-falling sensation of the bungee jump.
The only downside (I can't believe I just said that! ) is that we can't see the bottom, and so there is no idea of the height involved.
Well done to your wife.

Nice action shot and well done by the missus. Thankfully she didn't cut the rope before you jumped!  President, A.A.A.A.A (Australian Association Against Acronym Abuse)

Absolute Cracker of a shot, and well you could of tried time and time again to get that shot yourself (obviously with someone else jumping), and not of gotten it but the missus, pull it out smooth as you like. Very cool!

Thanks for all the positive comments! I'll be sure to pass this on to the missus. Hopefully, this will give her the confidence to get into photography as well (or at the very least make it a little easier to justify my future photography "expenses")
