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.

Black Kite from Japan

Postby DanielA on Sat Nov 22, 2008 9:41 pm

I've just finished processing my photos from a recent holiday in Japan. I took the Nikkor 18-200VR lens as I didn't want to carry heavy gear and wanted one lens to do it all. I understand the limits of the lens so I'm not surprised I got a few soft shots. But I also got this shot:

At 200mm and f/5.6 I am surprised by how sharp this is.

Other shots of the same bird:

It was following our boat looking for a feed.

Great work. The 18-200mm VR is a great travel lens, and as you have proven, it can take stunning pictures.

I love them all! :up:

Thanks. I'm glad I got the 18-200. The convenience of the zoom is fantastic.
