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.

Hello all
I was trying to capture the dawn rising over the Tweed River over the weekend - my first attempts at RAW photography and found this eagle (?) doing laps above me.
I tried grabbing a few shots, hand-held, 75-300 @300, 1/500 @f5.6, ISO 250.
This is also my first attempt of PP with NV and RSE. I have cropped the image slightly and tried to bring out some of the detail under the wings. Being hand held, the pic is not as sharp as it could be...
Sorry - pic seems very small in the post....
Cheers
Gecko

Gecko, seems like a nice shot but really it is way too small to tell. I have had blisters bigger than that. We suggest to keep pics under 800 pixels on the long side and under 100k in size. You are admirably under that  Feel free to post a little larger

Hi Glen
I thought I had resized it so the longest side was 800 pixels, I must have done something wrong. I will try again!

You've linked the thumb, not the image.

Thanks Kipper!
I will have to go back and read the posting instructions again! 
In the meantime, I have been stuffing around trying to figure out what was going on and trying to upload another image to PixSpot and the upload seems to be taking forever!
Cheers

Hand-held at 300mm seems pretty good to me... Good detail on the underside of the bird... Seems a good catch to me.
Out of curiosity, which lens?

It is always nice to get the shot you did not expect, and this is a beaudy  Chris

Thanks for the kind words
The lens is an old Nikkor 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 (I think these details are correct). It is the one with a small tripod collar. I picked it up second hand a few years ago. $$$ are tight, so I didn't buy the kit 70-300 G lens with the D70...
