Morning at the park.

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.

We decided to visit a park close by as the boy wanted some outside time.

Heading to the river.

Brett, they are both very good. The 2nd one is frame worthy. :)

That 2nd image is beautiful - tack sharp and certainly one that will create a great memory for many many years to come!

2 is great....... one can be improved by cropping the sky ....... a lower angle would have also helped this image

Brett - both are excellent captures but would agree with Bernie on a sky crop with #1 :)

None at all. Whitebalance and small amount of levels in Nikon Capture and then mild USM in photoshop before converting to 8bit, sRGB, resized and saved for web.

Brett, that 2nd one is an exceptional shot, especially given the ISO. Not a scrap of colour noise. It shows how good the D200 sensor is.

It's a great capture as well.

Cheers
