Tassie Locals

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.

ooh i love the ant! great capture, he even has nice catchlights in his eyes! i like the sharpness and the depth of field, as well as the over all composition.

it reminds me of when i was a kid and got bit by one of those bastards...

Nice ones.
Agree with the others the ant looks great. I was trying to find it's other antenna, then realised it was lost due to the DOF. Thought the poor bugger had lost it in a fight :lol:

I think that the guy in the first image is a member here.

Great capture.

Did you use a flash for this ?

it reminds me of when i was a kid and got bit by one of those bastards...

So thats what a Jack Jumper looks like in macro...... good picture.

I go looking for more extreme items when I see those bastards in the backyard..... generally poison, but I'm going to get a mappgas and burn the little bastards right up. Seriously -- these ants jump - and if they see you/your shadow they will try to attack you and bite, they are the most aggressive insect I have ever seen.

Did I mention they are bastards? Oh - and be careful, some people are highly allergic to their bite, one neighbour carries an epi-pen at all times outside :shock:

hmm, this one musta been an old codger, while he was firey i did manage to get pretty darn close and with my nose on the ground..... I will certianly have a newfound respect for them though, even with just those nippers they look nasty :lol:
