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.

Glen,

I went there last October for a weekend to have a look at the facilities and then again in March this year to host our annual sales incentive trip.

Mauritius was good but next year we are spending a week in Kruger National Park....looking forward to getting some wildlife shots!

All applicants should submit their resume to me:

Compensation Package
Annual Base Salary $zero
Annual Commission $zero
Car Allowance $zero
Extras 1 x annual overseas trip carrying my bags
and catering to my every whim

We are a equal opportunity organisation but if you are young and female this would be a distinct advantage.

But you forgot the other 1700 members here!

Stunning shots, Stuart, but where are the food shots? We need to ensure that the meals were equal to the scenery. :)

Thanks for the kind comments, the water is really that colour (no special efects other than a CPl filter).

With regards to photos of the food, I will see what I can do tonight. One night we had venison soup at an African retreat up in the mountains (while a young deer was walking around.......). The main course was wild boar and a salad made from the trunk of a Palm Tree (called Millionares Salad I think).

I'm not into that "gamey" food..........
