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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

After our sunrise session at Mrs Macquaries Chair I headed to the nearby Botanic Gardens for an 8AM morning shoot with my local camera club I found a number of Digitalis (Foxglove) plants in full bloom however they all had the flowers atop a long and not very stable stem which swayed erratically in the breeze - it wasn't till I found these foxy ladies which were resting against the hedge next to it that I could try some focus stacking on a more stationary subject. Even better these were still covered in large droplets of water. The result of 39 images focus stacked [1/125 sec at f/4, ISO 100] using the LED macro ring light and the tri-grip diffuser overhead to soften the sunlight  and for comparison the single frame - 1/125 sec at f/11 and ISO 800  Here is another composition which is more backlit - shot from the other side of the flower head - 36 images focus stacked [1/320 sec at f/4, ISO 100] again using the LED macro ring light and the tri-grip diffuser overhead to soften the sunlight  and for comparison the single frame - 1/125 sec at f/16 and ISO 640  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

Yeah I know - lead with a strong title and then dissappoint... my goal exactly  Another tighter framing without the diffuser that I stacked  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

Rodney - four points here: 1 My favourite plant - I grew these in my garden in the UK and they are a cottage garden favourite 2 Framing perfect and colour just standout (the flowers do help lol) 3 Stacking is the way of the future and you have exemplified its usage  4 Water drops give the pics that real edge Chris
