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. 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.

TassieD,

She was on her rock three times yesterday afternoon :)

The weather was very cool and overcast. No lure required.

Good to see that she is playing around, now if only the males would get in the pool and swim for us. By the way, there is a new baby rhino at Monarto - visit soon?
2nd shot for me.

#2 and #3 are great poses Fozzie. Interesting perspective that is an invitation to the viewer. Interesting that I am doing a shoot for the Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve and the Sumatran tiger I was shooting took an instant dislike to me snarling and eventually lunging at the chain wire fence as i pressed my lens to the wire to try and get a clean image.
I can tell you it was quite frightening to have it get in my face to the point where I felt the warmth of it's breath. Lucky I had a clean change of underwear handy. :shock:
cheers

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"
