A day at the Sydney Aquarium

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.

I haven’t posted any images in awhile so here are just a few from 2 weeks ago. We didn't really go there to shoot any images but I found it really interesting once we got inside (first timer)

Kellogs - I really like the first shot of the green fish - this is a classic example of a photo that is not in focus but has a very artistic and stylised appeal :D

#3 is great portrait! :)

Also, I like composition of #4 but it needs bit more of DOF, IMHO

All good images, Kellogs. :)
I like #1 and #2 especially.
But I'd do something about the mirror you used for the self-portrait! :lol:

For me I like the 2nd & 3rd pics. I like the curve on the roof of the b&w (pic n#2).

Nice shots. I was in there a few months ago but ended up with about 5% of my photographs worth keeping. I was shooting with fast iso speeds and a fast prime, but the lack of light and the huge number of kids in there made taking photographs quite frustrating.
