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.

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.

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

The ANZAC day march was an excellent event for some first attempts at portrait/candid photography!

#2 is a photojournalism classic!
If there's only 1 thing I can fault, it's the Hi-Vis vest just under the flag (but it's not like you could do much about it :D )

#1 - strong colour and appropriate DOF.


Are these from your new 70-200?

The bugger kept taking shots of me all morning!!!

It was a great experience this morning, but I didn't have many keepers due to the low light and shaky hands - not even VR helped...

Here are my best efforts:

This old digger was quite surprised that I'd want to take a photo of him, but posed nevertheless...

Les West and his friends - waiting for the off!!
Image

This poor guy was freezing his nuts off, but he managed a smile...
Image

This one's a little soft, but I had to include it... He was having a ball!!!

2 great shots in 1 and 2. In #1 I'd also think a tight recrop on the face of the man on the right will yield a very interesting image too.

#3 - what can I say - mugging for the camera as per usual :wink:

John

These images are bloody good and trully capture the spirit of the day. Not a big fan of #2 though.

Thanks Peter, It's the first time I've been to a march in Australia and it was very touching... #2 - what can I say - I had a little chat with Les & his friends - they'd been waiting for over an hour for their chance to march, but were still smiling & joking... I thought this photo summed up his spirit...

More photos from the morning here
Cheers, John

P.S. Russell, As I've already told you your #2 is brilliant... Might be worth cloning out that vest as daniel suggested... #1 is great too, but I too would like to see a crop of the right hand side...
