my 1st D70s submition..

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.

Pretty good shot, Art. :) Color and exposure is good. The head and eye are a little soft. You might want to stop down a little, to find the sweet spot for sharpness on the lens at that focal length and keep your ISO up high enough so that you can have a shutter speed fast enough to minimize camera shake.

Hi Arthur,

I am surprise at the sharpness and quality of your shots here. The sharpness, clarity and colour is definitely better that what i would have expected of the 70 - 300G. The first is tact sharp.

regards,

Arthur Yeo.

G'day,
Nice stuff Art, really like the first. It's something a little different and the colours are catching...

thanks people
about the lens being in the right hands..im not sure about that haha
it was only the first time out shooting with an slr
hopefully things only get better
well one can only hope


the first shot looks pretty gracefull
its funny because in real life the pigeon was bent back like that
and was biting its feathers like crazy, it seemed so frustrated
and was biting so angrily
must have had some fleas

i was just lucky
