No body is getting my lunch...

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.

I have been following the progress of the new male Lion at the Adelaide Zoo each weekend. The shot was taken yesterday, when he was under a shelter, hence the dark background, having lunch. Looked to be a upper leg portion of a horse.

D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 + TC-14EII
ISO320, 1/250s, f/4, and 420.0mm

C&C welcomed.

Nice one fozzie,

I like the tight crop and the dark background, works well. BTW, I assume you will be first to post panda shots when they get transferred to sunny Adelaide 8) 8) 8)

cheers,

André

Nice shot Fozzie. I think I would like a little pan to the left, to get the paw in.

Fozzie, nice work as usual..now if the old tiger had teeth like that. Pandas are not going to be here until late 2008 early 2009, so we will have to wait a while..

Daniel - this was shot in HSC mode. It has only been cropped top and bottom.

I am sure he would each Zebra, if only he could get to them :D

Andre - thank you for your comments.

I will attempt to get the first shot of the new Pandas :)

The Adelaide Zoo needs to do some preparation work before late 2008 or early 2009. New enclosure area, and the main thing is to organise an external planting area for bamboo, as each animal has the capacity to each 100 kilos a day.
