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.

Hi everyone,
Just came back from my China F1 trip. We have been going for 3 years now and this was the first time it rained. It was also the first time I had the 70-200 VR with me (last year I used the 70-300 ED). Definately appreciate the extra light the lens lets in conditions like the ones we had. Only tookpictures during qualifying...here is a sample
Any comment / critique (good or bad) is welcome and appreciated 
Cheers
Mike

Top stuff. Apart from being green with envy I love the shots. The 4th with the spray coming off the McLaren is a beauty

Some fantastic images there Mike, nicely executed - isn't the 70-200VR just a magic lens? I did a family portrait shoot yesterday and used it for about 80% of the shoot! Just a gentle reminder, that the file size of the images are a little big, we like to keep them down to around less than 120kb so that our members on dialup aren't limited to their viewing pleasure. Well done none the less!

These are top shots knowing the harsh condition and lighting you have to face with the rain and overcast skies. 
Then maybe a tighter crop on #1 & #2?

Cheers guys..I am glad I splurged and bought this lens. Like you Geoff I use it a lot for portraits as well as sports and its just fantastic. And now after a wet F1 GP where the light was quite dodgy, I couldnt be happier with it.
Sorry about the size  I am a cable snob, and I apologize and keep images to less than 120kb...
Yi-P, 1 & 2 were the only 2 (from this set) uncropped. 3 and 4 had slight crops...I suppose for the top two I wanted to "set the scene"...but I know what you are saying...
Thanks again...

I find the stopping sand-pits on the top part of the first two distracting, I got confused at first sight whether its a tight turn track or its the sandpit...

I like #3. It's good to see some close racing action in these type of photos.
