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.

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.

Found this sweet little thing trying to get into the budgie cage last night so a quick drive this morning to relocate in some different bush and voilà, instant photographic subject :D

I would not have had it looking down the barrel of the lens but would have been looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun as the only good 1 is a dead 1. LOL But bloody good pics, gamer than me.

Straight up. No tubes or TCs. Just a big dose of bravery (or stupidity :lol: )

Great shots Mark,

really like the last one. It really show the nice colouring and patterns on the python. For the first one, I would probably have liked a bit more DOF, still a great capture with it's tongue out.

Cheers,

André

love #3, IMO the forst 2 would look nicer with a little more DOF but it depends on what you where after.

Beautiful looking carpet too, would love to have a few of these in my backyard and at 1.8m it is just a teenager :)
