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.

A great family shot...

Image

This was taken in complete darkness with the 24 - 120 VR lens and SB-800 flash, ISO at 400. Very impressed that it focused so fast considering I couldn't even see what I was focusing on :)

Warm shot. :)

I especially like how Tigger and that worm thingy are watching over them.

Gold. Did you have the Auto Focus assist lamp firing? (ie the camera detected low light and fired that up) Perhaps thats how it focused. A very nice piece of glass anyway, and a great photo.

Bounce flash?

Lovely pic woody - did you bounce the flash?
The absence of any harsh shadows seems to indicate that you did.
Certainly a great shot under the circumstances.

Umm not sure :)

When I half pressed the shutter a red grid was displayed over the image so i pressuem this is how it focused. What I was impressed with though was it focused as quickly as if I had the lights on!

Sure did. I always bounce the flash when indoors.

Whilst the lens did well I actually had the VR function turned off on this one :)

I am looking after him on Friday after I visit you to collect his new D70 :)

Can't spoil him to much by giving him VR as well...
