UGLY!

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.

UGLY!

Feels like I have been away from this place for months! Any how back again and have a couple of pictures to share.

I spent yesterday filming at Werribee Zoo (Melbourne)
Once again I had an awesome time being allowed to get up close and personal with the animals. Rather than the usual animal shots I was keen to show them in a different light, cheeky and fun.

Raspberry Blowing Rhino style.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

That's a much better perspective than what I saw last time I was at Werribee Zoo! Love them.

Cheers, Elena

Thanks for the comments folks.
Werribee really is a great place to visit, especially if you can get out of their big buses. I know that some of the Melbourne guys were talking about having a trip to Werribee and booking the photography vehicle, not sure what came of this.
