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.

These aren't great photos or technically correct due to very short breaks in the rain, however, I found the little 'story' of life and death quite interesting as I watched it unfold.
We have had quite a bit of rain over the last day, and I found a group of larvae sitting on a blade of grass just above the water line where we had some minor flooding. There were thousands of these little critters which I'm guessing must be mosquito larvae (?).
For some reason two ants decided to fight over who gets to have a feed, even though the food supply was quite plentiful.
They fought for about 10 minutes or so until one of the ants drowned the other ant in the puddle of water.
The little performances which nature performs are amazing if you give her a moment of your time to sit quietly and watch.
cheers

Not Mosquito larvae, but that being said I don't know what they are larvae of.
Neat story of real life.
Regards Colin
