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.

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.

First up Rob, welcome to the forum. It is always nice to see someone posting pics with their first post. I like, in particular, the shot of the Koala but all three are very nice.

Welcome to the forum Rob. Enjoy.
All nice shots - especially since this is your first SLR.
The first image of the lizard possibly could have done with a little more DOF - the branch appears sharper than the lizard to me (maybe that's just my eyesight).
Possibly a crop all of these shots would highlight/isolate the subject more.
Cheers, Mick

Thanks for the feedback.
The lizard shot was difficult as It was indoors in low light, and I wasn't too keen on using the flash as I haven't worked out how to make the shot look natural with it yet.
It was shot hand held at 1/13 sec exposure at f2.8, and i was actually surprised it turned out at all. (hopefully i can get a tripod soon - but there is so much choice, i don't know what to get!)
cheers

Welcome rob. You might want to do a search on this forum for tripods as there has been some interesting posts about them. Just like most stuff, you get what you pay for.
Nice pic of the Kookaburra.
Regards Colin
