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.

Fungi Fantastico @ Lane Cove Bushland

This place is Colins wonderland I reckon.

Following a medicore fitness session at Manly, myself, Rodney and Suren headed to Lane Cove for a short Bushwalk in search of macro fungi fun.

I am keen to see how Rodney's images with his new ring light come out.

Colin, next time your in Sydney you will have to take us for a expert guide of this location :up:

Fantastico indeed! Nice control of the lighting on these, are these with your lens mounted diffuser?

If they are edible, it looks like they would not provide much of a substantial meal!

They are outstanding. Your technique is immaculate and your eye is well honed to the beauty of shape, form, colour and balance.

Nice work with that first (actually shot last I presume) - I'm guessing that was the higher up one - yours is a lot better than mine from this location - your lighting and the dof for this one is excellent. I like the third as well - nice sidelighting.

Gerry,

#3 is pretty nice IMHO. The Sliver of light makes it rather magical. :cheers:

#4 I'd do some dodge and burn to make the subject slightly stand out more.

These are really good Gerry.
I especially like the first, very crisp.
I have wanted to get down into this location for a couple of years now but just never seem to get there.
