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.

Found this tiny little frog (approx 20/25 mm long) in the garden this morning after some long awaited rain.

All taken with the D300, 105VR and RI flash.

Great shots, Geoff.

I think I like the second the best because of the angle and it seems to show more personality. I would like to see a little more detail in the shadows, especially around the right eye (left side of the image).

I believe the frog is Litoria gracilenta, dainty tree frog.

Andrew, I agree with the shadow detail around the eye in the second and did not notice that until I posted it here. Thanks for the ID too, I think you may well be correct after googling the name.

I revisited the original and it has less shadow than presented above, must be something to do with the conversion / upload. Anyway here is a lightened version.

Nice work....I didn't mind the original version, but the rework pops that little bit more!

All very Nice Geoff, the punchy colours hit the mark for me, the lighting is also pretty sweet.
