Show time Part II (DU warning)

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.

Chairs image is a definate winner ;) Takes a good eye to spot something simple knowing it would become that good.

Nice
Never argue with a fool. They will drag you down to there level, then beat you with experience.
Although I gotta admitt, sometimes it makes for a good laugh ;)

More great shots Keith.

#1 Great grab shot, shame the whole car isn't in the shot

#2 I prefered the clowns in the first series, this guy looks a little tired ?

#3 Nice shot with the chairs, never nailed this style of shot myself but I really like the repeating pattern, I might of placed the focus a little more in the centre rather then up front

#4 Love colours, use of DOF, Dahila's right ?

#5 Really engaging, there is so my life in the eyes, lovely

Every one of them is great. The clown face really sums up sideshow alley, a bit tired, a bit tacky, but colourful.
The flowers - colours a beautiful, and the dog is exceptional.

Coupled with your series one images, these are just as good. I like your use of depth of field and low contrast with the chairs and the dog is brilliant.

The chairs is my favourite shots. The colours in the flowers are great and the husky dog is excellent.

I agree with alpha on the holden cars. Feels a bit too tight and a wider version would be great.

The dog photo is a stunner.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.
