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.

That grass sucks you in looking at it! Nicely spotted, although it's a shame the lighting is so harsh.

As for the boots, will Philo be modeling them at the MaxiMeet? :twisted:

Matt,

You have excelled yourself with this grass shot. Just being able to see this shot in the wild is one thing; to capture it as you have ...

Nicely spotted and captured with excellent colour in both. The gumboots aren't my style but I'm sure they would be a hit in NZ at a kid's rugby game... :D

The grass shot is wonderful Matt. I don't usually get too interested when subjects are centered in the frame, but in this case it works an absolute treat.

A good photographer can always make the plain subjects stand out. :up:

Hi Matt,

I have tried to capture similar grass many times before but failed. I love your image.

Cheers
