Allo Possum

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.

Great shot Chris, did you whisper in her ear "now look soulfully at the camera as well". That is really a great and hard to capture moment.

By the look in his/her eyes it was more like ”If you touch my bloody apple I will bite your camera!” :roll:

Just licking his/her paws after eating it - maybe the look is ”have you any more?”

Aye, what apple indeed. Hungry little critter, you got close enough you could have done a macro of his eyeball. Was that with an Sb 800 flash? So very tempting to get one ...

The flash was the SB28DX used on a Nikon D1 - but I would recommend that you invest in the SB800 - a superb and versatile system

As we have discussed Glen it’s not so much the number of megapixels but more the quality of the camera you are using plus optics. :wink:

D1 created excellent pictures and many of them are still around at few places, I knew some local newspapers still using them, they have few of D1, D1hs, the quality and the built of camera is still last.

yep, I can see it now, must have been something wrong with the page loading or something.

Cool, usually these types of critters don't like to sit there getting their pic taken.

Don't have any where I live now, but we moved to Houston once and they were all over the place. I worked on an oil rig with a Mexican fellow once and he suddenly disappeared running into the field. He came back with a possum in a plastic bag (take home to eat I guess). He didn't speak much English, but boy howdee, I found that funny.

Great catch, nice and sharp, good moment... Also like the way he's (ooops, or she's?) on the end of a branch that ends within the shot... Check out the fat big toe hangin' onto the branch... All he (ooops, or she) needs is a few scraggly black hairs on the knuckle and it's human ;-)

Cheers,
Mudder
