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 like the composition of the second one as you can see the whole of the spray in the background and the "wake". I would like to see more detail in the face of the first. How far out are these guys?

Number three is a ripper of a move and well captured. Are you using a 500 for these?

Hi Marvin... The first image was taken directly into the sun...Had a lot of difficulty bringing it back from a silhouette...

The composition of the second image was easy compared to the 3rd and 4th, in those the surface of the wave caught the glare of sun and made it difficult for me to do anything but place the surfer in the middle of frame...

I think the surfers were somewhere between 50 to 100 meters...

Thanks Big V I agree...These were taken with a Nikon F4 ED...A pretty old lens but very good for what I paid for it
cheers pa
