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.

I immediately started humming "Laugh, Kookburra laugh, ... :lol:

That's a great shot, good seperation from the background and terrific detail, nice and sharp and composition's good too, which is hard with bird stuff... This is a good one... :)

Tricky little vixen you :wink:
Lovely bokeh rel. Background colour really enhances the portrait I would however suggest pulling back just a tad on exposure (on the bird) IMO the bird is a little overexposed
cheers

Should have just slapped on the SB800 and used fill flash!!! d'oh!

Thank you everyone - Birdy, high praise from you :)

Yep - fill flashed the buggery out of it ;) 80-200, with the SB600, beer cup and contraceptive cap...... that cup and cap combination is fantastic for those of you who haven't tried it yet.

Mark - tell the truth - you asked finch what the bird was didn't you ;) :lol:

Hugs everyone

Interesting....does the contraceptive cap have to be in new status :?: Or is it depending how soft a flash you desire :?: :?:

If you use soft flash it falls off, you gotta use HARD light....

Nice pic Rel, that must be some contraption hanging off your camera. Do you have to go into the chemists and say, "No, really, they are for my camera..." :lol:

Have to got a photo of your setup?

Sorry Raskill - kind of an in-house joke - the beer cup is the Gary Fong Lightsphere 2, and the contraceptive cap is the opaque snap on internal dome :) Just my sick sense of humour - recommend it though - bloody brilliant system :)
