D200 and some baby images

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.

I haven't posted ANY images from my D200 yet as I haven't had a lot of spare time on my hands. Today we went to visit a friend who's recently had a bub, so of course I took the D200 along. Here's a few of the shots taken:

I prefer the B&W (seems to be a phase I'm going through):

i prefer the coloured version of the first one as it just doesn't look old fashioned enough for B&W.

the second one has me wondering what he's thinking. 8)

Charming shots Geoff. The last one especially, capturing what looks like a smile from little bubs, is a keeper

Nice iimages form the D200,

I prefer the colours in the first over the BW version. The BW seems to loos detail and interest.

The last is great though.

Excellent Geoff, you are getting great results already from the D200.

Thanks guys, little bit of a learning curve with the new cam, but boy does it feel good in the hands - solid, ergonomic (very similar to the D70 but feels more chunky which is good). :)
