A Serious Shoot

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.

Hi Rob,

Nice to put a face to the name!
Oscar for me this shot seems a little dark, but I'm not on my usualy PC (it blew up) so it could be my current ad hoc setup. It just looks a tad dark and lacks some pop.

It is lovely, I'm a big fan of the wetlands between Oatley and Mortdale (I recently posted some birds, lizards and a snake I saw on a walk last friday through them). Not bad exercise either, but it is a great area.

Nikon, Canon or another poison ? :lol:

Canon..... Just got Kit Lenses 18-55 and 70-300 and a Tamron 90mm on the way. :)

My flatmate and I rode down across the footbridge to Como? is it... they have a quaint little marketplace there on sunday mornings... was quite nice..... Dont think that ive been to the reserve that you mention as yet... might be a good place to try out the Tamron tho!.

Como is nice, if you are after more directions I could find a map to show you where the wetlands are, certainly plenty of dragonflies, bugs etc out and about most the time, as well as other wildlife.

Yes, especially down by the lake, or take the funicular up to Brunate ... Just a short train ride to Milano and Monza.
