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.

Nice, sharp, tightly composed shots Kerrie. The bee is fantastic. Do you still post on Dpreview ?

Did you spray the flower ?

Cheers

Very nice - especially the detail on the bee.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Well done Kerry. That 1st one of the bee is astounding.
Can you get any better with that lens ? If so, I'd love to see it :lol:

Have you tried any noise removal software/plug-ins ? Due to the bumped up ISO, that's the only thing I'd look to change.

Many thanks for all the kind comments, guys. :D

Justin: Yes, I still post pics on dpreview, but only the lens forum. I rarely post on the d70 forum, but only to make a comment. I don't recall if I sprayed the flower in this shot or not. I have a lot of shots like this, that were taken after the water sprinklers had been on.

Dave: I have Noise Ninja and Noiseware Pro, along with the NR in Capture and PSP. I rarely use them. I'm not as sensitive to noise, especially monochrome noise, as a lot of people. I don't like the color noise and will often use NR on that, depending on the shot and severity.
