one day = 3 keepers (:-(

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.

I took about 100 pics at the Bradley's Head meet. These 3 are the only ones I'm happy with. Sure hope I do better when I'm in NZ next month :cry:

Peter, I really like the last two. Contrast and colour!

If you are that worried about taking shots in NZ then you could let me go in your place. Definately wouldn't get many keepers but I'm sure I could enjoy myself trying :lol:

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Peter,

it's just that your standard has gone up. I'm sure a year ago, you would have more keepers, you are just more discriminating now :wink: :wink:

I also like the last two, nice colours.

NZ will yield some great photos for you, I'm sure. In your place, I'd be more worried about being with Sheepie for that long :shock: :shock: :wink: :wink:

Cheers,

André

Is no-one worried for me? :roll:

Peter - your shooting has slipped. Time to give up. Let me use your equipment (camera equipment that is!) in NZ and show you how a pro works ;)

I think Andre is right - your expectations have gone up over time, and so when you have a more ordinary day you are left with an empty basket. Sometimes we can try too hard to get a 'different' picture, and miss the easy stuff :)

I quite like the first one of these - the contrast between natural leaves and the squareness of the concrete. The message also works well with the picture. Sorry, but the others don't do much for me - while nice textures, I don't think you've been able to bring them out as well as others of this type you've presented :)

We must like the same sorts of stuff.
How else could you explain that I walked around at a different time to you and still took some of the same shots. :D
These are great.
Regards Colin
