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.

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.

Number 3 is a great action shot. Number one is nice too, is the tiger really that colour?

Thanks Marvin. Yep, they really are that colour - note, they are true white tigers, not albinos. If they were albinos, they would be totally white (no stripes) and their eyes would be pink, these white tigers have blue eyes.

Thanks biggerry - hehe.. yeah, not quite as graceful in water as on land, but they are pretty good swimmers compared to other big (and small) cats :) - think he's looking like that 'cos the keepers were throwing fish feed into the water (you can just make out the specs of fish feed in the air) and hitting him with it (the water is chruned more because of the fish too)
