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.

Now then, where can i get one of those?

That's a really nice image you have taken there. The colour and contrast is superb and is as good as anything else from the pros at the tournament.

Well done.
Steve.

:mrgreen: What a shame the lens has introduced distortion - leading to the image looking bloated, like the distortion on widescreen tv's leading to people looking 'bigger' than they really are :( :twisted:
Only kidding - beautiful shot of a beautiful girl. I do have one question though - what is on the back thigh? Patch?
Well done ;)

Excellent photograph and a great example of the silky smooth tones and colour the 20D is capable of.

Thanks for all the comments guys .Much appreciated . I'm wrapped that i have got the colour working . I just recalibrated my monitor last week and i found i had my brightness set way to low leading me to over compensate in PP .All my images were looking milky and washed out and in general leaving me questioning my sanity with sticking with RAW .
Hope to have a few more shots up soon . Was a great card at the tennis yesterday . Hewitt , Hingis, Henin , Ferrero , Guccione ,Hancuchova .All played centre court . Best value for money day at the tennis i've had .
