We photographers are a funny bunch (56k warning)

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.

Kris (macka) and I went out yesterday afternoon for a stroll, both of us trying something we don't normally do. She had considerable success with her Macro shots, while I had considerably less success playing with some weird angles and B&W conversion. I can't understand why people give you funny looks because you're bending over sideways to get 30 cms away from a park bench with a wide angle lens :).

C&C welcome and appreciated.

Finally, a quick shot of the Macro virgin at work (she'll kill me when she sees this :P)

Rooboy - if it gives others amusement by watching you do great things to achieve what you ultimately want, then give it to them. There is a lot to like about your first image of the park bench, the perspective, the B&W conversion - I like this one a lot :)

3RD shot in the distance there is a nice large formation of cumulo nimbus clouds forming I love seeing these things form so spectacular.

Nice pics rooboy, I can't really offer too much artistic direction with these kind of images having barely touched on abstract myself.

Thanks for the comments Geoff.

Mark, the clouds were absolutely spectacular as you said. Unfortunately, they were all miles out to sea, so a decent opportunity to use them didn't appear :(

Rooboy, like Geoff, like your bench. There is something to explore from with it :D

It was worth the weird looks. Great effect with the angles of the bench shot. :D . I also like the second shot, but would like to see it in colour.
