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.

The second one is great, love the dew/rain drops caught in the web.

Especially the bottom left one, where you clearly see the inverted image.

Not sure what I don't like about the first shot, maybe it's just a little creepy.

I was eating my lunch when I saw these shots. I love the second one. Not sure I want to finish my lunch now though.

Can't quite make out what's in the inverted image of the bottom left drop. What is it Kerry?

Second shot is great.

The first I'm not really a fan of, maybe the DOF is a bit too narrow. The arch of the caterpiller looks in focus, but the feet and head just out?

Thanks for the kind comments, guys. :D

JohnD: Sorry I spoiled your lunch... :( I don't remember exactly what the background was that makes up the inverted image in the drops... It was something simplistic and the shot came out better than I thought it would. :?

Pippin: Yeah, I think the DOF is too narrow and/or perhaps a little camera shake going on as well. It was a very difficult angle and position for me to get the shot. The angle could have moved the plane of focus through the worm. Add a little camera shake and voila. :lol:

Mic: Yup, am having fun with the macros. Haven't had many photo ops due to weather and work, so have to be content with what I can dredge up around the house. :)
