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.

Forum rules
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.

Rod - these are very nice shots. The early morning shot belies what happens later in the day and is very calming. The 2 shots of the lifeguard have been very well framed IMO. :)

Hi there Rod... Welcome to dslrusers.com
It's quite funny how many people from the geocaching forum are now doing photography to amuse themselves... Make sure you get along to a mini-meet one Saturday morning... It'll be good to catch up again...

Great images BTW...
Cheers, John

All three are very nice images. The first one proves that 'Neat and in the middle' does work :)

I like all three of these - the morning light really does the place justice. I don't think that lifeguard will be saving too many more lives, but he certainly is looking hard ;)

Welcome aboard Rod, if this is the sort of quality you're starting with then I'm really looking forward to seeing your work develop!

Welcome Rod

The two lifeguard shots are exceptional. THere show your excellent eye compositionally as Chris has already said. The framing of these makes the sculpture almost seem alive. Well done.

That lifeguard needs to use more sunscreen.
