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.

i love the way you have kept each shot so focused. 1 and 5 have to be my favourites the first because of the smoke generated between you and the car, and 5 because its just a great action shot. nice clean photos. :)

3 and 5 for me mate. 5 is a great drifiting shot, shows the sport well. The colours seem a little dull though. Was it very overcast?

Nice shots all round. You selling to the drivers?
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys.

It was a mixture of both Raskill, sun was out and then overcast. Freezing cold day though.

I'm not selling to the drivers as they had their "Official Photog" there, so I am leaving that to him.

My opinion follows by Raskill ... photo 3 and 5!
Specially 3 - Excellent composition with full of dynamic movement and "eye contact" with the subject! Great shot!

Dave, have you brought a new lens? These were not shot with a bigma as the depth of field is too shallow - have you been holding out on me? Image number 2 is why I say this. Let me know and if yo have, are you going to share at clipsal?

Hi there Big V,

You have sprung me, I bought another 30D along with the Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS USM, Canon 300mm F2.8 IS USM and the 1.4 converter.

My parents brought me up to share, so if I manage to get back there next year you have first dibs.
