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.

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.

Was fairly happy with this snap taken whilst on a bushwalk on Saturday. These little guys are only about 10cms high and were clustered together in very deep shade and it was as windy as hell, so I was pretty stoked to pull this shot off with no tripod.

I like this shot, but find the leftmost OOF flower distracting (probably because of its size). Have you experimented with a crop that removes it or tried cloning it out. I think this would make for a stronger image. PS I'm also very impressed with your hand holding technique.

I have to agree with Peter again :)

I found the OOF flower on the left very disctracting... however considering no tripod and shooting conditions it's a good shot.

Cheers guys, yep I totally agree with you both, I have tried cropping it out and it just didnt work...cloneing is the next step, dont know if I care enough to take it that far though, was just happy to get a resonable shot under some pretty average conditions :D
