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.

Interestingly, while i was taking the first photo, a collegue was taking the second photo, of me taking the first photo, and he is in the first photo too, if you look hard enough, on the boat behind. Confusing? Not really, he was using a D70 too.

I prefer the first shot - you had the rotor blur, while the other guy's capture had the helicopter falling out of the sky with no rotor movement. :)

Aww do you know how hard it is to get blurred rotors on choppers? :)

Aircraft are easy but choppers.. hehe

Nice shot Steve, wish i could get opportunities like that :)

What happened to the weather up there Steve? Looks like it's gone south on you!

Nice pic - and interesting to see the different perspective of the two shots ;)

Overall the first shot is the better capture - primarily because the rotor blur gives a sense of movement, but the heat haze in the second shot adds good impact missing from the first.
