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.

Here are a few images from our holiday in the Maldives, where we were celebrating my wife's 40th birthday. We spent time at two resorts, first was Veligandu Island Resort, then the Conrad- Rangali Island. Both fabulous! D300 & 17-55 f/2.8 C & C most welcome. Cheers Marc Hooked up to a Blue-fin Trevally  Jacuzzi sunrise, water villa view. ISO 200 f/8 1/13s@17 & tripod  Sunset over Veligandu ISO 200 f/10 1/3s@17 & tripod

Ditto on 2 and 3 ....
But #4 too. The flowers, and the politician ... great capture.

Marc You must be bloody happy with these. Like the others the third and second image (in that order) stand out most for me. The strong edges to the sun's rays in #3 really make for a powerful shot while the lovely blue tones and subtle light in #2 work fantastically well. I think that last shot in many other contexts would be a cracker too, but it just loses out to the wow factor of the middle two images. And not a wild animal in sight

Marc, these are great photos, #3 and #2 are fantastic. Looks like it was a great success for your wife's birthday André

Unfortunately, most dealt with by local dogs. cats, rats, etc. I did manage some wildlife shots in the other posting, Stubbsy. Thanks for your comments. Cheers Marc
