Tug of War

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.

Tug of War

Postby Geoff M on Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:58 am

I was doing some digging and hard landscaping in the garden over the weekend and in moving soil / rocks etc. came a cross a snake (id anyone?), anyway rushed in doors to get the camera, came back out not more than 1 minute later to see a Kookaburra going for the kill! As I approached to take some photos with the 18-200 attached, the kookie flew up onto the boundary fence that adjoins an Avocado plantation to the rear of my garden. The snake latched onto the fence and the tug of war began. I managed to shoot of a sequence, moved my position to get a better angle, scared the kookie which let go of the snake, Snake then fell to the ground, kookie was straight onto it and flew off in to the Avo plantation with the snake dangling. I guess the kookie won the battle in the end!
