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.

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.

Really interesting perspective and some creative shots.
I like the first porsche shot and the final shot of the race race.

very nice, I like the MG shot with your reflection the chrome

after seeing these I may have to pick up the 10.5/2.8FE when I get the D200 and may even get the 16/2.8FE for the F6 as well :D

Kevin

I always have such a problem when I look at your pics since they are usually so damn good. I have a double problem when I look at your 10.5 pics since you make that lens sing. Fuels my lust :wink:

The last shot has presumably been straightened in NC and shows just how useful the lens can be for getting really wide shots.

Thanks Kevin. I guess I'm just expecting to see lots of distortion in these shots and it's less noticable here. I guess being a bend the eye expects this distortion effect anyway. The crop really brings out the shot.
