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.

Now that I'm here i figure I should get some shots here for comment. These are 3 shots I took in July 06 on a trip through East Africa. Believe t or not I'm yet to sort them all, about 2700 all up, but these are among the best I think. Any and all comments appreciated, though I don't think I'll be able to have another go anytime soon!!!
A juvenile highland Gorilla in the mountains of Uganda, just near the borders of the Congo and Rwanda. Was a trek to get in there but it was worth it to be near these creatures for an hour!
A Cheeta on the plains of the Masai Mara. These were 3 juveniles, aparently brothers, who were hanging out together just watching the world go by. The other two were lying in the grass so I focused on the guy sitting up... to the tune of about 30 shots from memory!
A shot while Hot Air Balooning over the Masai Mara in Kenya at dawn. This was taken from our baloon of the other balloon following us. Was an amazing day, we actually landed in the middle of the wildebeast migration, then had a champagne breakfast there... brilliant.
All images shot on a Pentax *ist DL, the first two with a Sigma 50-500 and the last wit the sigma 18-125. If people are interested in seeing some more it may spur me to finally organise all of the images and get them out for people to see.
Cheers.

About time we (Kate and I) finally see some of your africa photos, and well I'm keen for more, the cheetah is my favourite, then probably the balloon, the gorrilla is cute, but looks a little softish.
The hot air balloon ride must of been an awesome experience and a great way to watch the sun come up over such a wild environment.

Yeah I know, I'm slow!! Cheetah is my fav as well, and the gorilla is a tad soft, as are many of my shots from that day. Was tough shooting moving creatures in lowish light standing on uneven groubd covered in vegetation!!! Fun tho... I must go through them again, I think there are a couple of sharper ones.
Cheers.

Love the second and third - it's always great to see animals in their natural environment. Definitely post more shots from your trip!
