Thirsty kitty

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.

Took my d70 for an outing to Melbourne for the weekend. Got a couple shots of the big kitty drinking at the zoo.

The 2nd shot is a terrific composition, John. The reflection sets it on another level. Well seen and captured! :D

Alex and Rob, thanks for the comments.

Mic, Bob and Kerry, thanks for the comments as well and yes, I agree the reflections add to the pic. I got a heap more with and without relections, but I prefer the ones with the reflections.

Mic, this was taken near the section of the zoo where the elephants and other Asian exhibits are, so my guess is that it's a Bengal Tiger. Too interested in getting the shots to really take notice of what the signs said. I guess I should have taken a shot of the sign. Film is cheap after all.
