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.

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.

G'day,
Wow, the second shot of (your?) boy with the deer(?) is a fantastic catch... You could try Focus Magic to sharpen the subject movement, I've seen some great stuff done by other users with that application... Not sure but the demo version may restrict you to jpeg tho (as in no tiff, can't remember)...

The third shot is great, makes me think of Kimba (the white lion)... Very nice, sharp and detailed, great expression on the beast... Seems to have his eye on something...

Cheers,
Mudder

Hi robw25

Glass is always a problem - did you auto focus or manual? Manual focus is best in this kind of shot. The young boy and deer is, excuse the pun, endearing.

Your last shot shows the contentment of an animal well saited.

Hi Rob,

I like image two - it has a real 50's feel to it, almost a Kodachrome 25 look - did you try for this? Forget the slight focussing "issue", the shot works!

Cheers

The last image is great......looks like he/she was licking its paw when something caught its attention.....great timing.

The snake, good lord thoses things leave me cold......even behind glass it still made me shiver.

thanks for the replies guys, in all the shots i took ( about 200 ) i only tried to get a decent focus on them, some looked good on the lcd but get them on the computer at home and some of them were dissapointing in sharpness, but i was happy with my visit to the zoo

cheers rob
