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.

Hey everyone,
My name is Andrew, I'm new to the dslr forum and though I would post a photo of mine and see what others though. I'm very interested in getting people's opinions and any pointers that will help me with my photography.

I'm currently shooting with a canon 5d.

I look forward to your comments and hopefully meeting some of you in the future.
Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew, welcome :)

Have you got a larger version?
From what Ive read on here, 800 pixels down either side is a great photo size.

Hi Andrew,

Welcome. I like the photo from what I can see, do you have a link to a larger version, this size just doesn't do it justice.

Cheers

We seek forgiveness for Andrew as he's a Canon shooter :-) Andrew works in the Sydney office of the company I work for and he's not a bad bloke, despite the Canon thing..lol.. Welcome Andrew !

Great exposure, the colours are very nice. Composition is also good I think. Look forward to seeing more of your photos.

It was a pinky orange colour..... I liked the contrasting colours of the pink and blue. Probably not everyone cup of tea though.

Welcome to the forum Andrew, 5D very nice, what lenses do you have in your collection? I like the contrasting colours, and the image is so peaceful and relaxing, I like it a lot.

Good collection of glass and accesories there. Just wondering if you find the 24 is wide enough on the FF 5D, or do you sometimes crave a WA to supplement your kit ?

No, Definately looking for a WA. Currently looking at either the 16-35mm or 17-40mm

The 17-40 is lovely on my 30D - it would be even better on a 5D.
