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.

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.

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.

Hi Chica,

The 2nd looks to be a classic trots shot (like what you would see on the news etc). So well done. It seems to have captured the essence of the event.

I would have preferred to have seen the <INSERT RIGHT WORD HERE> cart with the rider in the 1st shot as well.

:ot:
I like taking photos of the sunset in the salt pans next door to globe derby park when I am in Adelaide.

Love the first 2 especially, only thing being the car in the background of number #2 - maybe something you can learn at the PhotoShop course - how to get rid of it :)

You are really diversifyng Cathy and have done well here with what I imagine is a difficult subject to get right.

#1 appeals to me for the sense of motion and speed...with a bit more of the sulky (?) & driver this would be even better I think.


Well no doubt you will be back there next week trying to get that million dollar shot - good luck and enjoy the challenge!

Cheers
R2
