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.

Two slightly different perspectives of the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln during exercises off Hawaii a couple of weeks ago.

Both images are panoramas taken at 200mm with D2H and 80-200 F2.8.

The conditions were not conducive to good images as it was very bright and sunny with a bad haze and harsh light. Also i was unable to get any other views of it. From front-on would have been nice, but not possible. Maybe some other time.

Click on the image for 1000 pixels wide.

I have only seen one of the Nimitz classes for real.
The namesake was in San Diego when I was there for a SPS49 course.
didnt get on board though. probably would have except it wasnt tied up.

Nice image Steve, it's a big mother of a ship and I certainly wouldn't want to see it in my rear-view mirror if I was a bad guy! :lol:
