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.

Here are a few spider shots taken while camping at Crowdy Bay National Park Australia Day weekend. As well as critiques on the images I'd be interested in comments on the watermark (is it subtle enough). These are the first images using a new workflow that uses Lightroom instead of PSCS . As a result (and some effort since LR doesn't do image borders!) I have a new watermark & framing batch process being called from LR after export to sharpen, watermark and caption my shots. I'd be interested in thoughts on this first shot where I was going for a different perspective on the usual spider pic.  This is the fat fellow above just after catching a fly. They had a small spider on their back too so I'm guessing this is mu or dad  Front on view of this one  and from the back. This is also the image taken when Leon took the one posted in THIS thread

They are great, Peter. I love Nephila (that's the genus of the spider). The large ones are all females. The males are tiny. The smaller ones you saw could have been males or juveniles.
I think the watermarks look fine.
The second one is the best for me. The perspective is great and so is the background. The 3rd is pretty good to with a back lit view to it.

All of them great, and well worth the time taken to capture  You'd think that guy in the last one could have gotten out of your way though  *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
