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.

As I mentioned in another thread, I "forced" myself to shoot with only my 50mm lens today (one which has not really even been used since I purchased the gear and I felt the need to familiarize myself with). I'm planning on using only this lens for a couple of weeks (at least) to really get a feel for it as the clarity of a prime lens like this (and the faster speeds) has been quite an eye opener for me. Also attempted some portraits of the kids- but nothing I'm happy enough with to post just yet - but I really like the 50mm as a portrait lens! A couple of shots from the Australian Garden in Cranbourne, Vic http://www.rbg.vic.gov.au/australian_garden taken in between bursts of rain and trying to keep the kids on the paths (i.e. off the garden beds)  f/13 1/90 sec ISO100 some post to aid with the overall contrast and saturation of the pic  f/1.4 1/125 sec ISO100 Vivitar 2xteleconvert attached (yeah ok... I cheated a bit) No post processing C&C welcomed Canon EOS50D, 17-40mm f4 L USM, 24-105mm f4 L IS USM, 50mm f1.4 USM, 28-80mm f3.5-5.6, 70-300mm f4-5.6 & various other bits

I love my 50mm it really makes you think before you click. Some nice work there, I like the flowers, but the colours seem a bit dull (could be this crappy monitor though)

The 2nd shot looks a bit underexposed.. when I look at it, I feel sad... nice effect if that was your intention!
