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.

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.

great series on the 'off' but is that a helmet I see in pic number 3 just in the foreground??? Interesting to see the lack of response from the crowd except perhaps the woman in blue (top right of the frame in the 2nd shot). The marshals certainly can move and all in the right direction too! Glad to hear no-one was hurt.

The last one is fantastic, if you could get a little more clarity on the eyes of the driver, you can just see he is looking to where the hand is pointing.

I love watching these boats, the standard of driving in Australia and NZ is brilliant and we generally do well on the world circuit!

Cheers
Brett
