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.

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.

First two were at Weni Falls, North West of the lake.
The duck Orchid was on a ridge out from Lawson. Not as many of them this year but that is the way of it.

Great to see you getting out unlike some other fat unmotivated slob I could mention

I am going to be picky today!

With the second one, as much as I love the blue of the sky, it is really distracting, even if cropping it down, it distracts the eye, nice plant though

With the duck orchid (Caleana?) the head needs some more light or definition, however the colour you got on the wings and the body is superb!

but nice shots!

whizzzz, there goes life again.....
But now captured on a Canon 40D with bits

Yes Waz,
No matter how I moved around the flower that head would not give me what I wanted.
I will have to go out and try something different with it.
