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.

I really like the 1st one - a question - any USM on these as the second shot seems overley sharp?

Hi

Postby yeocsa on Thu Jan 27, 2005 4:58 pm

Hi Chris,

Yes, USM applied to all. 2nd one does have higher USM as there was some blurr due to camera shake.

All shots were handheld. The 1st one is the infant. The 2nd is one of the parent - very protective and shy. Did not have time to recompose as they flew off very quickly. If you had noticed, some branches and leaves were in the way. Did not like the strong backlight as it reduced the details on the birds and resulting in distracting overexposed areas.

G'day,
Excellent shots, favorite is #2... Great sharp images... Especially if you had to be quick... I'd be very happy to catch those...

Cheers,
Mudder

Awesome captures - your bokeh seems so much nicer than mine! My 80-200 has borked bokeh! ;)

Top shots of the birdies, i dont seem to have much luck at times, it's the ferals that tag along seem to be able to make enough noise to scare them off. LOL
