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 is another one from this afternoon.
It took ages for me to get a decent shot of this one... He was staying in amongst the reeds most of the time. Fascinating to watch though!! It would do a little dance chasing a fish then fly off to the side of the pond to eat it... Then slowly wade back out to look for more.
Focus isn't perfect on this one as the camera was strugging to get around all the reeds. Also the neck/head is a little overexposed. Still learning about when to use exposure comp and how much to use.
Comments welcome
ISO500, F7.1, 1/100, SB800 TTL -1.0 flash comp.

You critiqued your own image well. I agree with all you said. I dont think head on is the best profile for this species? Still it is quite a pleasant shot and the reeds add perspective.

Reservations notwithstanding, I still like the shot of this giraffesque bird.
Maybe a crop 40% from the top would bring the subject into more prominence.

Thanks for the comments...
I thought about a crop from the top of the image but thought it looked better keeping the in-focus reed intact. That doesn't leave me much room to move.
