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.

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.

Great shots Kerry. Love the 2nd one. Looks as though he/she could get into lots of mischief.

Both winners Kerry. I would imagine a lot of time was spent getting those?

Great shots Kerry,
Like young children, animals are largely unpredictable and difficult to shoot, so you've come up with winners.
I like the warmer tones with the (fall?) leaves and composition of the first shot, but the expression in the second shot is better. Shot 2 has a slight cyan cast (perhaps due to the carrier?).
I love my 85 f/1.8 - Light, fast and great focal length & bokeh for portraiture at the price.
I think it is only bettered by the 85 1.4 and 70-200 in this FL for portraiture.

A great subject for testing the sharpness of a lens!

Bloody awful shots Kerry :lol: Just kidding, I have been thinking about getting the 85mm myself - unfortunately your pics with different lenses gives me too many lusts and my pocket is too shallow :roll: :lol:

Thanks for all the kind comments, guys! :D

Meicw: You're right, he is a little hellion, at times.

Glen: I hate to say it, but both of these shots were quick snaps. The critter is in a bicycle basket, tied down. 8)

Joolz: Yes, the 2nd shot should be a little warmer. I agree with your notion on the 85. :)

Chris: Lens lust is terrible, but manageable. Buy the cheap stuff first. The 85 f/1.8 and the Sigma 180 macro were both under $500 US, IIRC. :D

Robboh: No reason you can't get pics like this. Just need the lighting and someone to hold her still. :D

Mudder: This dog is definitely a cheeky critter. :lol:

You've inspired me to go and have a look at a session I did with her in the late afternoon a little while ago and see if there is anything thats postable (or things I could use some help with).

As for holding her still. Hmmm, 18 month old, 40KG bouncing ball of fluff. Your turn!! :lol: However, Ive since found that she will do just about ANYTHING for cheese, so might have to give that a go :)

Great shots Kerry, makes you smile just to look at them, and that is a fine quality for any photograph.

And, as aways, technically excellent.
