Year's favorite shot

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.

Year's favorite shot

Actually this is my second favorite. No 1 I'm holding back for the 3rd Challenger.

I was trying to capture my new son's innocence and fragility. For me this shot does it but to you it probably is just another photo.

Merry xmas

Show us your favorite shot....

Excellent photo Ajo43. Very sharp and clear.

Thanks for sharing. Will post my favourite photo soon.

Graham BTW They lose their innocence and fragility at age 2 and remain this way until at least age 25. :D :D :D

Enjoy your children while you can - time flies by so quickly

I'll bet it does look great printed. You could sell that shot. Great tracking and sharpness given how hard it is to get these shots.

Is this taken at Indy on the Gold Coast?

It looked better after MattK got to it with Photoshop but I don't have a soft copy of that one (just an A3 print)

Lucky she takes after her dad :wink:

Postby christiand on Sat Dec 25, 2004 7:24 pm

Merry Christmas,

how do you imbed a photo into your posting rather than give a link to your image when posting ?

Cheers

After you click "Post Reply" you'll see a button "Img".

Click it, then post the http address to your link then click the "Img*" button again and there you have it. Check preview to check it worked.

To get your image it should come up like this:

(img)http://downunder.customer.netspace.net.au/transient/favourite.jpg(/img) - but with [ instead of (

I couldn't get my images to embed either. Nice to know the answer.

Here's may favourite for 2004 (well December really since I've only had my D70 that long).

EDIT: got the URL wrong (doh)
http://www.pixspot.com/displayimage.php?album=48&pos=4

Can't embed the pic itself since I can't work out the URL :(

One of my favourites from this 2004. Not because the shot is tecnically good, or the composition is great - it isn't. This shot has sentimental value to me as this little "Mule Head" died a couple of months ago after being at my side for 16 years.

Image BTW, this shot has had nothing done to other than resize and save for web as a jpeg. My printed version is on another computer and is an entirely different image.

Cheers

This is a real toughy. I'm going to have to say my Nature in Black and White only because I learned so much about digital photography, changing to black and white, pp, posting on the internet, etc.

http://potofgrass.ath.cx/gallery/challe ... ee_smaller

I would embed it here but I don't know where the URL is.

Looking through all of my photos and choosing one is tough, but this was probably the most enriching experience. Probably not my best photo though.
