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.

Some more images taken in a swamp outside Brisbane on the weekend. Some areas of blown highlights but the harsh light of around 2:30pm made lighting difficult  but did manage to get some nice backlit shots with the help of a little SB800 Fill flash.
Oh what I would have given for a better beamer on the day. Must get a hold of one. Get ready Birdy! 
3 Intermediate Egrets moments before their procreation impulses grabbed them. http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?p=133490#133490
The Intermediate Egret Portrait with nice backlighting. I like this one eventhough it could have paid me the courtesy of strtching its neck out a little more and looking at me rather than glancing 
cheers

Marco - I really like these shots. I've never seen them with such a brilliant green tinge around the eye before - breeding colours... beautiful.
Congrats
Rel
hope the tripod turns up soon

Can not say anything critical about them - I like them all. Second photo might be a bit better if you crop it tighter but I'm not sure about it

Thanks for the kind remarks. It was my first attempt at these birds. Their rookery was a great place to have close by, as long as you could bear the mossies and smell.  It was only 10 mins from where i was staying in Brisbane.
cheers

After staring at your frames for a few minutes, I finally got around to checking out the birds. Very nice. The frames are a little too much though. Of course that's my own opinion.

Very nice. The 3rd one with fill in is great. Love the green tinge around the eyes.

Dave I wanted to try the frame action I got from Kevin here at DSLR users. Great action even if it may be less than appropriate for the subject it cradles.
Thank slider I was happy with the SB800 fill flash settings I used. Will know what to do next time if there is a next time.
cheers
