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.

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.

Sadly, only a very few DSLRusers (3 that I know of), members turned up for this important rally. I found it very ironic that there were 3 or 4 members of the police force watching over the rally...yet a few hours later about 60 members of a motorcycle gang roared into the back of Circular Quay yet not a cop in sight. It's all about priorities I guess. Photographers are the barsteds here. Here's a couple of pics of the rally and a couple I took on the walk back to the car.

well thats a pretty good turn out really considering the numbers as of late - that said I am pleased to know there were quite a number of forums/clubs represented on the day and the overall turn appears to be good.

On a side note whats with the 'Bring Back the Love' placard? reusing placards from something else :roll:

I really like the last image Matt, all the elements (clock, people and car) come together well and just work as a composition!

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Whoa Matt - that last shot is just superb - wacky scale makes for one compelling image.

Nice work on the last 2 Matt... as always...

I wanted to be there, but unfortunately can't walk very far at the moment...

Glad to see it got such a good turnout tho... I particularly liked the "Don't Censor Our Sensors" slogan :-)
Cheers, John
