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.

Wowsa! I am in no way a cat person, but they are so big and in your face, full of detail.. I really like them the eye isn't in focus in the second but it actually doesn't suffer too much due to the hi level of detail on the (snout) nose ?

For me these shots make the cat seem more wild (perhaps as it looks so big and in your face) rather then your standard domestic pet shots.

Wow - these are great Pall! Not your usual cat shots, that's for sure. Agree with Craig's comments about the proximity giving a wild look to the feline. Mouse-eye view? :wink: Fantastic detail and, yes, once again I'm reminded of the space in my camera bag reserved for the 105mm... :evil:

The DOF is a bit shallow for me, but agreed that it's def not your average cat pic :) Makes the cat look more aggressive than it is.

The cats colour is defiantly what makes the shot. Warm and sharp, although my only issue is the eyes again. The pupil, however small it gets, is what you are drawn to in an eye and it just seems furry, where as the furry bit is sharp. :wink:

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Ditto what has already been said about these shots

Just WOW!!!!!
Love the idea, and the execution is fantastic, I actually really like the shallow DOF - for me it really works !!!
Know what I'll be doing when I head home tonight :)
Congrats on 2 great shots
