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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Today was a strange day. At last we had a nice sunny day in Coffs, not complaining 'bout the rain mind you, but took off about 6pm on my trusty kayak and the birds were very co-operative.
P.S. Upon returning to my parked Holden Astra at the Boambee public boat ramp, I found the side window smashed and contents of my glovebox gone, gone, gone, not to mention the car is filled from front to rear with glass. Oh well, at least the constable found some fingerprints to try and catch the perpetrators...I will have to find another place to launch my kayak. At least my camera gear was with me in the boat!
Back on topic (had to get all that off my chest), these shots were taken in perfect light with my trusty old Tamron 300mm freebie.

I think you'll find those fantastic pics are of an Australia Osprey. He / She was very co-operative!
The talons are too big for a kite...
Edit: was so caught up in the pics I forgot about the car! The boat ramps in Darwin were always like that too, you towed the boat there with the worst car you had, left the windows open or doors unlocked and some small change in the ash tray. Hope the police catch the little buggers.

Thanks Geoff, yes, the car is insured but will most probably be cheaper to pay cash for a new window, not sure there. Nevermind, it happens to all of us at some time.
And thanks for the note about the Osprey Brett, a beautiful bird indeed. President, A.A.A.A.A (Australian Association Against Acronym Abuse)

Thanks Craig, I really think this proves that light is everything. Get the right light and it doesn't really matter what gear you have (within reason).
On the other hand, if I had had good quality glass I most probably would not have been splashing around the creek in my kayak and would have missed the shot altogether... President, A.A.A.A.A (Australian Association Against Acronym Abuse)

I really like #4 Max.
On my monitor the others look a little blown in the chest and under wing areas. Although they are very sharp.
Cheers
