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.

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.

We have been fostering a guide dog puppy for the last 12 months. On Tuesday, she goes back to Guide Dogs NSW to start her training. It's not easy to give them up just when they get to be really good. Just thought I'd share a few photos, one from yesterday in the backyard, a couple from the beach this morning.
Her name is Candy, she is a 14 months old Golden Retriever.
D200, 300mm at f4, 1/1000s
D200, 18-70mm lens at 70mm, f6.3, 1/250s
(a tad dark, she had the sun behind her)
D200, 18-70mm at 70mm, f6.3, 1/400s
We've done it once before a few years back, as I said, not easy to give them up. In the end it's for a great cause. They either become a guide dog or a pets as therapy if they don't make it as a guide dog. Only 50% of dogs make it as a guide dog. The first one made it as a guide dog, not sure if Candy will. She is a great dog but she is not too keen on big trucks, buses, trains.

She is just beautiful
I'm a sucker for retrievers - Labs or golden. They have such wonderful personalities, and they are a breed that epitomises everthing that is good about dogs.

radar - you are doing a great thing for society by fostering a guide dog puppy. I know that I would find it extremely hard to give her back: she is so cute, as illustrated by your great shoots.

thanks for the comments guys, she is a lovely dog, always full of mischief but she is still a pup really.
Matt, I've seen a cross between a Rottweiler and a Newfoundland, it is actually scared of its shadow
