No More ducks from me!

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.

I'm giving up ducks, need to find a replacement animal, thought I try a spider

Also, I think I'll start a CG (Cheap Glass) club to counteract the expanding VR club
This shot I took today with a Tokina 28-70 AF f3.5 macro that I just got off Ebay for $22.00

Please don't give up on the ducks - I've been enjoying them.

I like this pic though - shame that shaft of light wasn't just a little more to the left (or the spider a little to the right).

We could never give up on the ducks. Ducks are art (whatever that means).

I agree with the cheap glass bit and think there should be a section for Cheap and Kit Lens Photography. Need to make a catchy anagram for it. KILP (KIt Lens Photography), can't think of any more, my brain hurts.

Anyway, back to the photo, the spider has done a very poor job at camoflaging itself. Do ducks eat spiders? :-)

Mate, that spider is so little, it wouldn't even register as food to a frog let alone a duck.
As for the cheap glass, we have two takers so far, if it gathers momentum we'll make it official.
