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.

G'day,
Got up too late to get anywhere for early light landscape stuff, so instead I went to my second home, the Melbourne Zoo... Battled the prams and feriles(sp?), lost yet another lens cap and lens keeper (the elastic thingy that sticks to the cap and loops around the lens barrel to stop losing lens caps) to grubby kids hands, kids seem fascinated with non P&S cameras...
Anyway, didn't get much this time, the sun was too bright and caused strong shadows but these couple seemed to come up OK...
Let me know what you think... Not sure on the WB...

That last one is excellent. There's a lovely softness in the tonal range, but the image is nice and sharp. (and it's ferals  )

Very nice, Andrew. I like the 2nd one, the pussy's stare in 'nothingless' is captivating.

Hi Andrew,
beautiful portraits, the mountain lion being the best of the two. Probably due to the harsh light, but the colours of the mountain lion are just a bit subdued, maybe give it a bit of extra saturation, not much.
That look in its eyes is great, really well captured!!
Cheers,
André
