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.

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.

Hi everyone,

Welcome Rob and great to see a first post with some pics. I had a peek and the one pic that really stands out for me is the Drought Breaker. Hope to see lots more from you in future days :D

Hi Dave-D40, as a fellow newbie, welcome to the forum as well. Shots were take from the roof of apartments at waterside near Bulcock Beach, Caloundra one day when a huge depression had a strong, steady and constant southerly wind sweeping across Bribie Island and Pumicestone Passage. The Pelican was "ridge soaring" the deflected air mass over the shorline apartments practically all day. He/she flew hundreds of kilometers back and forth that day without so much as flapping a wing. I also fly gliders and do this occacionally when conditions suit against a long range of hills and it is the closest thing to perpetual motion you'll experience. Glad you liked the pics.

Thanks Steve,
Don't you know it!?! I've got some more fantastic shots from this shoot, but the plane owner doesn't want me releasing then just yet. I've printed one shot up to 1600mm x 1200mm and is mounted in the owners hanger behind his two planes. I'll post it here sometime soon. Air to air is tuff stuff -- looking through lenses while cavorting around the sky can really upset your internal gyros!!!
