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.

Now that's a name that would get you picked on a bit at school. I think if I was one of these guys I would just tell them I'm Chrysomya rufifacies.. sounds more sophisticated. :D

C&C always welcome.

Mark,

Was it on fire? :)

Just look at those big eyes, and those gorgeous long eyelashes. Clearly the female of the species; great detail here.

Well done.

Thanks Mark, we assumed it was the Tammy but I wanted to be sure, I've been showing off your macros at work, and Dawesy my IT / Linux Shepard is keen to get this lens for his Pentax. I'm hoping he'll start posting on the forum here too...

I was really hoping that Linux Shepherd wouldn't catch on, but what can you do... I guess raving on about how much better a server with no GUI on it will do that!

Xerubus, as mentioned I've seen a few of your Macro shots and am very impressed. I'm in fact now considering the Tamron for my DL. I'd like to get into some Macro and it seems to have the added advantage of being a decent portrait lens. I had been thinking of a Pentax 77mm Limited for that, but they're expensive and rare!

Anyway, nice to be here and top shot!

welcome to the forums dawesy... and thanks for the comments...

I couldn't recommend the tamron 90mm enough.. I've had it for only around 1-2 weeks now and cannot fault it.
