Get the ball.. from where?

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.

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.

Get the ball.. from where?

Just for fun I decided to try and get some shots of my dog Arthur diving under the water to fetch his ball.. sadly I don't have underwater housing for my camera (and the quote for it was $6500 so I won't be getting it either) so I borrowed my partners peice of crap, old as the hills digital camera - which convienientely has underwater housing.. the quality is terrible but you get the general gist of it I'm sure.. :)

Love #1 he's having a great time ,
I think any underwater housing is better than none - at least your getting the shots
(I use my sons 5mp underwater goggle camera and know what you mean about quality ...but better than nothing)
