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.

It's been some time since I have visited here for any length and unfortunately I haven't taken much in the way of photo's either, but I did manage to take my camera with me when we took the kids to the zoo over the holidays.
Good Lord, never again....it was almost impossible to get close to anything, and as for the big cats...as soon as they twitched a whisker people were shoving and pushing and taking images through perspex with their flashes on
But I did manage to keep all the kids out of the cages (including the hubby) and get these 3 images. Not fantastic or awe inspiring, but I was reasonably happy with them
This guy was shot through perspex, right before a rather rude woman squatted down in front of me and actually hit my camera lens with her arse!  She was so excited it was posing

Thanks for sharing HappyFotographer.
If you have photoshop, and can reduce the shadows in #1, I think you'd be surprised by how much better that photo can look. What on earth is it anyway?

Doug, thanks for the help.
Is this more inline with what you were thinking?
As to what it is.....I just call it a BFL...the first word being BIG, the last being LIZARD........and you can probably guess at the middle word.

Yes, you can really see the detail of the skin under it's chin. Well done.
