Mmm....lunch

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.

Okay, first from my trip to Taronga Zoo. Unfortunately due to smudges on the glass, this shot took a bit of PP to try and sharpen some areas of the face.

C&C appreciated.

Cheers,

Hehe, cute! Looks hungry, good thing there was some glass between you two ...

You've hidden the smudges well (my humble opinion :D )

Whilst the image has a suggestion of "lunch" or "I'm hungry", I find the tongue being somewhat distracting from the image as it becomes a focal point. Sorry but I'd rather see the animal without the tongue.

It is surprising how at ease you can feel when all you have is a pane of glass between a deadly beast and yourself. :)

Don't apologise, I like some sort of idea of what people think whether its good or bad. I have another shot without the tongue and if I remember correctly, the stare appears more intense. I will have a go at PPing that one when I have time in the next day or two

I like this one too LB, especially the eye contact. You weren't teasing her with a Baskin & Robbins, were you? I'm also looking forward to what other shots you post from your trip.

every body likes a little tongue :wink: makes the shot IMHO
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I have my doubts about the former.
