Where is Killakoala?

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.

Very nice to hear from you killakoala, we missed you at the mini meets.

It seems to me you're enjoying with the cruise ship and warm weather upthere.

Love the perspective on this Steve. I'm assuming you took a pano from here as well (unless that gear is with the grad ND :wink: )

See, if the Navy advertised with images like this and phrases like "Join the Navy and while we're not doing a whole lot, you could be here," they'd get a lot more people joining.

It looks like a really dreadful place there Steve, and we are truly sorry you have to be there!

Nice perspective - love the colour in the water :)

Aw c'mon guys...we work hard for our money in the Navy. Besides, what else was i going to do on my rare day off. :)

1/2 day off for every 10, that's why we get paid so well.

It was a very long walk to the top of the hill. Later i will show you what else was up the hill.

G'day Steve,
Wow, what a spot... There'd be ups and downs in every job, but what an up :wink: I could just imagine being in a banana chair, under the umbrella, sipping something incredibly alcoholic... Sounds good...
