Competition closing soon

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.

Are there any prizes for taking the most pictures?

I have taken over 1000 pictures and travelled over 3000km looking for the right picture. All I can say is that I am still not happy with what I have got.

The sad thing is it was taken within 50km of my house.

The good news is that I now know what fstop means and it is good to have fast glass for action.

Cheers,

Darryl.

Plucka
It's true that the greatest pictures are usually teken within 30 meters of your back door. Reference Gene Smiths "a walk in Paradise gardens".

(Not your back door...the photographers back door).

Coco pic taken five metres from garage door

Competition entry - can't say, it's anonymous :D

But Plucka the winner gets to choose the next topic, and may just choose something like Lake Eyre, or the Simpson Desert, both places are well within your 3000 km range!

I had a lot of trouble choosing my entry - In fact, I know I have chosen and entered the wrong photo! but rules are rules, one submission and no changes, so don't be too upset, I might not have travelled 3000 but I have the wrong entry in. hehe

Cheers

Coco looks yummy. ;)

I'm awestruck by the sheer volume of entries in the comp now. The moonshot, according to image properties, has an aperture value of f/1.0. Wow, I'd like to see that lens!!

Err.. no... no prize for the most pictures. Besides, I've shot about 1500 in the past week alone. Lol.
