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.

Good one Dan!!!

I only thought about doing a squence after the fact, so mine were really hard to line up, and I gave up ;)

Very cool sequence. Probably the only thing I would do is to colour correct the 2nd shot so that it matches the other moons in the bottom left, otherwise perfect :)

Brilliant sequence... though I'll admit I'm a little peeved that every single one of the component moons you took looks better than any single shot I took tonight. Oh, well. :D

What a fantastic series :)
And how cool was that moon- looked at the sky more than I looked at the ball at tennis .... at least it gave me an excuse for my shitty tennis ;)
Love it :)

I saw a similar pic on NASA today at some stage researching where it would be best to take the photos from.

As it turned out, not where there were 20 other people with PnS cameras firing flashes like cracker night.

Both of you have done a good job both with the images and the display of the sequence - but if I may offer some advice, you have placed the totally eclipsed moon at the end of the sequence where it should be placed before the moon came out of the eclipse.. Astronomers will notice this straight away.
