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.

From our trip to the Canberra Floriade festival last year I have just caught up enough to start processing the photos now :roll:

I am surprised how good they are I was not looking forward to looking at them again as I was very disappointed with what I had shot at the time.

D70 most are shot with the 80 200 f2.8

It was the only way to compress the images and cut the clutter.

I do have some ultra wide sigma 10 20 shots somewhere. I will post when I find them :roll:

i especially liek the blue sky toen in the 2nd series it's not that polarized reflex blue a more elegant grey cobalt blue which suits the subject matter perfectly

Dug the fourth image and the first and second shots in the second series are tremendous. Glorious colour and great composition. #4 in the first series is a real pearler.
cheers

As my wife always tells me "Arse beats class any day"

I was getting desperate to find a better/ different /original way of shooting the flowers.


the prievious shots are "Nice" but way too Hallmark card looking for my taste I will be interested to see what sells best :D

I may get some prints made up my bet is the pretty shots would the sellers. :cry:

That really is laying down on the job, Dug. Thanks for such a fresh perspective, good left field stuff and beautiful images. My favourite is first of the second series you posted.
