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.

I took this picture with the Canon 100-400L IS USM. I guess I still need to practice
a lot with this lens.

Looks pretty sharp to me.
What f stop was this shot at?
I brought a 100-400 a few weeks ago and it's not tack sharp until f8. A lot of reports say they're sharp wide open. Although, a lot of reports also say they aren't. :?

Hi, What body are you using?? At 1/80 with the 100-400 you may get a better result by pushing ISO up and appature down to F5.6-F8 as DOF is no issue(side on subject) Try to achieve about 1/125th shutter and see how you go--jim
Assumind 40d or better the ISO shouls go to 800-1000 if needed!!

I am afraid I am using a 30D still. I am contemplating
upgrading either to a 7D or even a 5D. I would like a
full frame, but I got lenses that wouldn't work in the 5D.
