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.

Rich

Some of the shots lack punch for me (they're a little too ordinary) - an example is #2. The third one is way better - a really well done candid. Others that grabbed me are the 7th, 8th and 9th ones you've listed here. The ninth being by far the best. I like the shadow, the angle and the fact you got the guns firing (shame about the lens flare :wink: )

For me image 12 on your web site (men on horses) is good too.

And one final comment. Having gone through all the shots - it must have been a very cold day!

Rich - you have captured the day perfectly. My favourites are 3416, 3610, 3650 (great expression) and 3722.

It’s always great to see people from a world away - you have the cold and we have the heat :D

Thanks guys, they're pretty much all just snapshots, but it was a real pleasure shooting them.

This is the first 'event' I've gotten to shoot outside with the D70 and I'm simply blown away. The cam is soo fast. . especially with the IF kit lens. . . I got EVERY shot I wanted. I never 'waited' for the cam to hunt for focus like my old dimage 7i. I ended up shooting over 300 pics!!!
