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.

love the flower shots, not sure about the monuments.

But I did stop to read #3 at the time - an amazing story

Sheepie... the first is nice composed... the other don't do much IMHO... suggest defishing those and see what comes out... especially #3 which has a tale to tell.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?

Nice experimentation Leon. I like the last one but your horizon's not straight :)

Leon

I hate to say it, but I'm not a big fan of any of these shots. The daisy images are great compositionally, but are let down by the odd processing. The other two images are over distorted and could benefit from being defished by about 60% IMHO. I'd also be inclined to do the one of the concrete plaque in contrasty B & W.

Leon,

Great little lens isn't it :D Never even considered a fisheye in my dream lens line-up. But after trying that sexy, voluptous baby, I'm a convert :D Thanks stubbsy for letting me have a play with it. Now, just have to start saving.....
