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.

Don't get too many of these up my way. This one was tucked away in a small Botanical Garden at Mount Tamborine that I didn't even know existed 'till I stumbled across it. Seems fairly new but should be a great spot in a few years.

Gorgeous colours Mark! Perhaps closing down the aperture a little (f/11 - 16?) to increase the DOF would have helped by putting the whole subject in focus. Can't speak with any authority as I haven't got a macro lens but just my personal view. :D

Thanks Simon. Yes, I love the colours in this one too. I couldn't stop it down much more as I was on a quick bushwalk (with no tripod :oops: ) so high shutter speed to minimise movement was what I needed. A bit more DOF would have helped and I almost didn't post this shot because of it but the colours were too nice. :D

Aha...remember adjustable ISO can be your friend. :)
I notice you shot this one at 200 so you may have been able to push that up a bit without getting too noisy.
