Simply steak

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

More random (slightly intoxicated) photography....
This of my ($5 very nice) steak lunch on Xmas Eve

Every time I saddle up the micro nikkor I get blown away by its sharpness... here is a 100% crop:

Not quite rare enough for my palate but the photos are great and their acutance and colour control provide conclusive evidence that I'd be getting the kitchen to do another.

Yum, yum. Had to buy a whole rump just to be able to get a slice as thick as I like it. Back on the diet now and so the rest of the rump is being donated to non-dieting friends.

Much the same as Walter, it's not rare enough for my tastes but it is a beautifully sharp image.

That's sharp! Love the detail in the fork, it has had it's share of battle scars. The steak might be a little overcooked but it's still got my tastebuds tingling, I hope you ate it before it got cold!

that lens goes beyond a photographic tool into the realm of a scientific instrument... the detail you can get that you would not believed existed is amazing..

As to the steak: it was $5 plus chips and they had James Squire AA on tap so I was a happy photographer :)

yes, I do like mine slightly rarer too...

Nice steak shots.

Cooked the way I like it. I am not into raw meat but I will try not to pass judgement on the rest of you :evil:
