1st review - What do you think?

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.

Hi all, I am a serial voyeur and have been watching all the forums since I joined DSLRUsers a couple of weeks ago. I have now got the courage for my 1st review. I am pathetically new so any idea's would be good.

Welcome!

That's certainly an interesting plane! :) Very colourful indeed... Nicely exposed, but I dunno about the composition. For me, it really needs to be zoomed in further, or wider. This is sort of an in-between nothing shot for me, unfortunately. BTW is that a Freedom Air jet? The logo is familiar, as is the hideously bright yellow :)

colours look flat to me compared to the vibrant shot you showed me today.
I reckon the colour profile is wrong

You're right. The image is tagged as aRGB. Viewed properly (outside Firefox) all colours are more saturated (esp. the jet engine) and the sky a bit more blue, too.

Cheers
Steffen.

Steve's right, it is saved as a aRGB but I warned you all that I'm new....

:oops:

For the record I am Aussie and my username happens to be made up of the street I grew up in ( Also a very famous NZ horse ) and I just happened to submit a photo of a NZ plane. Talk about 6 degree's.....

John:
I just tried to upload the image I sent you to photobucket and get 400 size also.

I did a test with a slightly smaller version and it appears to happen if the image is above 500k.
I will put a smaller version on my website asap and you should be able to use that one no worries.

Of course, with an image that's only 700 pix wide there's no reason to make it 500kB in size either - 100kB would be ample.

Thanks Steve, I have now swapped out the original for the sRGB version.

I didn't mention when I posted this photo that it was taken through a cyclone fence. I was told that if you open the aperture enough the wire in front of the lense just disappears. Would never have believed it until I took this series of photos. Just about white mans magic....
