Flower, Book, Bridge

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.

The subject says it all. The last 3 shots worthy of PP from the Hunter Vintage weekend earlier this month. Thanks to Geoff for pointing out the opportunity of #2 (and it was his 70-200 VR I was using).

Shouldn't it be, Flower, Bug, Book, Bridge ?

I like the flower and the bridge the best, the book for me doesn't work on the same level.

And to be technical, I think you may find, its actually follage, and not a flower you have photographed.

P.S. I just had a strange thought, that Stubbsy to the forum, is like Hagrid is to Hogwarts, any H.P. fans see the similarities ?

I love the shot of the grass-hopper reading the book :lol: That's a classic... And I think the red bridge just poked me in the eye :shock:

Having had trouble getting past the first 15 minutes of the first movie I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing :?

Thanks Andrew for your comments. I kinda liked the grasshopper too (Craig go and stand in the corner for 15 minutes :wink: )

Willy, Mark

Thanks for the comment. It's a great example of the subject matter over the quality of the capture IMHO

Can I come out of the corner yet ?


And Peter they were originally books, before they were movies, the written word in this case far surpasses the audio/visual mesh that is the movie.

(You reminded me of Hagrid, as he is the keep of Keys at Hogwarts, and your the Locker of Threads at DSLRusers :) )

I'll go back to my corner again now :)

Craig, You must stay in the corner an extra day now. I think my thread locking reputation is undeserved - a bit like people keep talking about Leigh unplugging the server.
