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.

Nathan, yes the duck has that effect on me as well if you look at it for awhile, not sure why but yeh was different and took it on the run while following the fella's. They were on the trott making a Bline to the tiger and i stopped to look over the bridge to see this so shot and moved on.

The poor tiger well i would say they have ground her teeth down and is a pitty as spoils the pics.

BBJ - very well done. The duck is the pick of the crop IMO, simply stunning colours. Need some more practice at shooting the McCaws, see you in 3 months time :)

Thanks Fozzie and Suzanne, yes i guess they are a bit to get into but i think Fozzie and BigV like others find it cheaper to become a member for the year with unlimited access so go anytime you want. Wont take long to get your money's worth back.

I think if i lived in Adelaide this is what i would do as it was very nice to just go for the day and would spend some time there as out time did go quick. Very pleasant day had by the three of us and could see myself there a lot more if i lived there.

Anyhow i will be back in a few months time to have another go.
Cheers
John
Pt 2 will post soon.
