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.

Kipper - so so sorry to hear of your loss - they really do become part of the family don't they? Took this of my little old girl this afternoon - thought of you when I was going through my shots.

Another lovely green eyed cat. Although you can't really see it in my shot, my cat used to have lovely green eyes (they used to vary from yellow to green).

I like this shot a lot, I really must get off my bum and take some shots of my two scamps.

Glad you liked her Kipper (hug)
Thanks for your comments Geoff & Bob - was taken with the 105 macro while I was heading off to take the shot of some bugs. We have some superb blue fairy wrens who both love to bomb my cat, and they were just about to dive bomb her when I took the shot.

Thanks BNS.

Wondered what she seemed so fascinated with. My cat used to have a love of birds (usually for all the wrong reasons), and used to just look up and his little mouth used to quiver.

Oh god.....MUST STOP THINKING :)
