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.

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.

Hi Bernie,

Great to see the King Parrot shots you took yesterday from the O'Reilly's Rainforest minimeet.

The first and third shots are just brilliant - rich colours, very sharp, great eye contact and good behaviour.

You must be thrilled!

Cheers

Michael

The last one is a beauty. The angle of the bird and the colours make it.

ISO 250 the 500mm mirror lens is a manual lens that has only f8 as the f stop, camera speed 80th second...... all 3 pix's were shot the same..........
