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.

After an excellent meet last weekend at Byron Bay (thanks Mark, Peta, Sam & Ryan) I'm finally getting some images processed. Here are four early ones all taken with the 10.5 DX fisheye
This first shot was taken at Minyon falls. Art direction by yours trully, hand modelling by Mark
you can also see this in black and white HERE
This next shot was taken on the way to Byron. I'm not sure of the exact location. Thanks to Leigh for helping me improve the composition.
This is the same tree as the first shot above but looking from the other side
This last image isn't mine. It was taken by Sam (seen in the image above) while playing with the fisheye on my D2x. I can't put my finger on just why, but I think this is a cracker of an image.

All excellent!.....but that first shot! Like some nightmarish parody of the birth of man. The world is not yet ready for your greatness. Regards

They are all very good, Peter, and the first one has a lot of potential variations of a theme.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

#1 and #3 for me.
There's something about the distortion of #2 that irks me but the rest of the shot is brilliant.
#4 is certainly striking, but looks more like an ad (for Nikon or Tamron).

#1 for me also. The hand looks like its disconnected from everything. Very spooky.

That's a great looking hand Stubbsy. 
Glad you were rewarded with some great shots from Minyon Falls.
The B&W certainly has a spookier feel about it, the tree really does appear to have a hand, from the bend in the wrist back it's completly black where as in the colour version you can see a little of my forearm.
The colours in 2 look great and I like how you have taken care of the sun.
Great composition in the 3rd, I like the way the OOF each side lead into focus on the tree (inside) then onto the face, nice work with the exposure of the background bush above Sam's head.
I'm like you with Sam's shot, not sure why, but it appeals to me too. Perhaps it's the central focus on the lens and reflection, then there is all that's going on outside the black circle that is the lens.
