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.

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.

Hey guys. Really enjoyed the feedback on my snow stuff. While I am far from getting amazing shots. I thought I might post a few more and see what you guys think.
As before, these where taken on my first digital, just a 3.2 MP with very little control. Please keep that in mind when commenting. Plus there photos are uneditied, as I only just intalled Paint Shop Pro, and ahev NO idea how to use it yet. The count down to tax return for my d70 is on  
This is my girlfriends daughter, one of my great friends.... 
Down the NSW coastal area....
This is what happened when she didn't get ice-cream....."I'm taking my stuff and I out of here!!". Man she can have some attitude sometimes 
Trying to grab some bubbles at Kindy while incorporating her ballet lessons...
There is a "tiger" hidden in those baloons!!
Let me know what you think. I'm sure some editing would be in order in the end. I posted these as they seems like great little moments in time, that make me feel happy. That is what it's all about to me. I think the top two are the better composition. Let me know what you think....
Cheers...... The mountains are my happy place....

Good lord somehow I lost my post and now I'm starting all over again. Here's a quick summary, sorry.
Remind yourself to not cut off feet. This is difficult and even pros sometimes forget.
She has an adorable face but I'm not really getting a very good look at it. With the balloons a fun shot would be to frame only her smily face with the balloons.
Very important guideline when taking photos of kids and animals. Always try and kneel down to their level. They will react well to this, and the photos are generally more compelling. Always do this until you have a good reason for the adult perspective.
They don't need a lot of post processing, mostly a little curves and levels and maybe cropping, just basic stuff. Well exposed, and great subject matter. Thanks for posting.

Dooda pretty much covered it but i will add that a nice tight crop is always good to use in order to get rid of the unecessary background things such as the wall in the balloon pic and the other kid on the right in the ballet/bubble pic. Keep in your mind what the subject is when you take the photo and try to maximise the area of the image your subject is using.
The water in the river pic looks quite inviting. I wish our local rivers were that clear.

Thanks guys. Not a serious effort on these photos, as I like way 'raw' way that they came out in the end. I do still like the top two best. Wish I had get the feet in too, oh well.
Nice memories, pictures that make me "feel" something. That is an important part of photography for me.
Thanks for all the imput. I'll take note of each point laid out.
Cheers.... The mountains are my happy place....
