Tip toe...

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 don't get to play with the D200 much now-a-days, but when my wife was given tulips for mother's day, I had to have a go with the 55 3.5 macro that Cameron had arranged to be AI'ed. All hand held.

Comments and feedback appreciated. These have only had some exposure adjustment in ACR and a bit of cropping.

second one all the way, i feel a disconnect from the fact its a flower and i like it. The petal on the RHS is alittle off putting being OOF, however possibly a crop is needed.
The third is also nice, the soft pastels and texture of the petal gel well together

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

Ditto for the second one.

My other favourite is the fourth one. The tones are beautiful!

Patrick I would suggest you throw away your filum cameras and stick to the D200 - love the pics

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Gerry, you may be right with the OOF petal on the right - I will have a look at a crop.

My favorite of these is the fourth, and I though I would give a B&W conversion a go. Thoughts?

IMO when taking macro pics it is best to leave them as colour unless they have clearly defined structures
