Hey Birdi! Lust over one of these!

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.

A fly

Saw a wedding in the park and stuck my nose in. I don't think the phots were too happy but hey?...It's a public place

Raydar isn't that always the case? I've seen some really attrocious wedding photos before where the bride has actually liked my photos better. Even though I didn't even rate my shots.

Nice work, Matt.

I would have liked to have seen a slight adjustment to the wb and exposure in the image of the bride; the shadows from the backlighting of this image are playing a slightly bigger part than I think they deserve.

Matt. That photo of the fly is really really cool. Did you take this with the 60mm micro?

Nicole. Yes...60mm macro. I just stuck it in his face and shot a couple..then moved closer and did the same etc until he flew off. Really needed to get a little closer for perfection but I think I was working at the limit of the lens.

That fly photo is great! What was the working distance between the lens and the fly?

I think taking pics of public weddings uninvited would be a cool hobby. A wedding pirate! Watch the hired hacks go ballistic!

Maybe that should be the subject matter for the long lens day. Go down to Dawes Point and wait, the brides will come..

A mob or photographers for hire?

Seriously though... I have this funky idea in my head that this site could make some money (for charity, to help Birddog with the prizes) by acting as a mob for hire... pay a certain amount... we organise a meet and charge a small fee...

just a funky idea...
