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.

Noisy Minor portrait

I have been playing around with my D50 in the garden during the last few days. This little Noisy Minor decided to pose for me.
The Minor's already have two baby birds that hatched recently. :)

Taken with the 18-70mm lens. Any tips on taking bird pics are most welcome.

I am not a birdy type person but looks pretty damn good to me coming from the kit lens. I think this a great shot and nice and sharp.
Well done OG.

Nice shot of what I imagine is a difficult subject (I'm not a birder so I don't really know).
Slight bit of motion blur and sharpening haloes but the eye is sharp enough.
There are plenty of talented bird photogs here so i'm sure they can offer some advice.

I'd post a photo of a noisy minor of my own, but there have been a few objections to photos of one's progeny here. :P :lol:

Thanks for the comments guys!

With regards to the haloes, they seemed to be only visible after i did a 'save as' in PS. I guess i will have to either set the image to max quality when saving, or reduce the USM a little (wasn't much applied anyway), to avoid it.

Wow you got close to him if that's a full frame image.

Perhaps a touch oversharpened (edge of the bird) but otherwise a great shot.

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.
