Hello Everyone / Tennis Picture

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.

Hello everyone

My name is Steven Laugle, and I'm new to these fourms. Ive posted here and there on some other fourms, but I think I'll settle here.

Anyways I wanted to share the picture (below) with everyone here to get come Critiques. I have been shooting with a D70s for about 2 months now, and I'm starting to get the hang of it it. (I think?)

This is one of my favorite shots that came out from a day shooting at my High School's Tennis Match. It isn't exactly of her PLAYING tennis, but I love how it turned out...Opinions?

Steven,

Welcome. Please feel free to ask about any and all aspects of photography, and pertaining to your use of the D70 and beyond.

I've edited your post to warn our users that the hosting site that you're using forces its unwelcome and intrusive popups onto visitors to it. We simply don't like such intrusive marketing methods here, and where a site does this, we prefer to have our members warned beforehand so that they can choose to deal with them or not.

The best alternative is to seek out a hosting site that does not intrude in this manner, and thus the warning is unnesccessary, but that of course is your decision.

But please be aware of, and respect, our needs in this regard.

Good one Steven :) Nice, sharp image. Looks like that was taken using available light?

Not sure I love the framing though, seems a bit off-centre. Solid photo, but I'm not certain it's very exciting either. How did you go with action shots? :)

Thanks losfp,

A few of my action shots came out to be really good, however I have not gotten around to editing them. I will eventually and post a few here.

This one just stood out to me and seemed to be my favorite

Some popup blockers are better than others. No worries, but you do need to be aware of/sensitive to these things.

As I said, better to not use those sites, and even to let them know specifically why you're leaving.
