Brissy Sunset

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.

Great stuff! Few first shots of your D200.
How do you feel the D200 with the MB-D200? well balance with the 70-200VR isn't it?

congrats on the new toy.

both of these dont do much for me.
the sky is a nice orange but essentially the first shot is just orange and black.
ok if you support the tigers I guess?

the second is the better of the 2 because there is something to look at in the dark areas.

Nice shots Steve :)
I was hoping that I could enlarge them when I opened them up on the new page .... any chance of reloading the 'larger' versions?
Glad to see you are enjoying the new toy (you bastard ;) )

I'm with Rel on this matter Steve - I reckon you've short-changed us with the small versions! :wink:

Birdy - yes it is very nice to use. It feels great I just need to learn to use the functionality.

Rel / Simon - click on the images for a larger one. The smaller ones are for the bandwidth challenged.

Only 2 troublesome trees up there. I am not normally into vandalism but I did find myself thinking that it would be a shame if someone ringbarked one in particular :shock:

Did that - it was the large ones I thought were too small for this sort of shot!
