Water and Lizard

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.

A walk in the valley with Colin and Greg produced these. Sadly no tripod for me

I like the limited depth for the lizard Cameron.
You really do need to clean those grads. :twisted:

Yep I do...and I did on the way train on the way home!

The limited depth of field on that little guy was more a necessity just to get the shot off with that focal length and amount of light as I wanted to avoid pushing the baby D60 too high in terms of the ISO.

good dof on the lizard, makes me look twice, definitely needs a bit more contrast imo.

The waterfall shots seem to have the WB off, warming these up would make them more pleasing imo. The last waterfall seems to have a magenta colour cast? possibly from the GND? or is it my end?

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I like the last two. The waterfall shot really works and the DoF on the lizard is just perfect, as was already said.

Bah...I never have enough contrast!!! yes there is a magenta cast on that last waterfall shot....will have another play, but it is most likely the combination of the WB and the GND's (which were being used to create a full ND)
