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.

It is hard getting as close as possible - lucky mates have a reasonable level of control and they do most of the hard work!

Not usually a fan of surfing shots, but these are great, specially No.2 & 4.

My main struggle here is the overcast sky + water when frothy and in the air. No 4 would be hard to print well, I think.

The evolution of your skills with this new gear for your D2x shows here. #2 and #3 are just superb and very salable I'd imagine

#3 is the top for action. Shows great movement and the expression on your mate's face is excellent.

As a semi-frequent surf photographer Heath, these are incredible. It is so hard to take shots like these. Keep 'em coming. Max.

Heath are you using any kind of filter on these fine images. Quite a while ago I tried surf in water shots with my first real point and shoot in housing and on research found that certain coloured filters can't rember which , were great for underwater shots. Im interested to know your thoughts

shoot it real.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Jethro I've been using no filters at all! Perhaps I should spend some time on this...

Jethro, I have had a look into the filters. Next time I go I'm just going to set white balance on fluro (magenta - EDIT - increased) and if I'm not happy I'm going to get a FLD filter.
