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.

Gee Andy, your the last person I'd expect to mention the 'F' word :lol:

Anyways...

  • Good shot of the F15 eagle - using your new VR toy?
  • The recolour Spoon car doesn't grab me - looks like a little too much bad acid :(
  • I think the taxiing F-16 is a great shot, but what happened to the nose? Was it going too fast to take the shot?
  • The P51-D Mustang is excellent (no people!) I really like the way the cockpit lines up with the horizon almost like it's another mountain
  • The first shot of Enzo is very evocative and I like the framing too, but the last one ("are you sick of Enzo") seems a little soft on the focus. Maybe some USM in PP?
  • I really like shots like Big Oak with a tree silhouetted against the sky near sunset/sunrise. I think you nailed that one
  • I've saved the best for last - Moon Over Caribbean, the hyperlink doesn't work, but from the thumbnail I have one word - awesome. I hope you've done a nice big framed print of that one

Oh, and Sam3 has some strange blue splotches on his nose & left eye in the thumbnail that aren't in the full image

Cheers
Peter

Most of these pics are actuall taken with my 70-300 G cheapo tele lens! The weather has been crap since I got the 70-200 VR, and I haven't had a chance to go out yet. Thanks for the input.

Andy - nice to see your pics up:

First shot I looked at was ”Cozumel” I like the converging angles on this shot but would have liked to see more depth in the blown whites on the ball and pedestal.

I like the F16 Falcon sit ready simply because you have offset the image and the Mustang is superb.

On the Enzo shots my favourite is Sad - thats is not the look of sad it is the look of ”if you go out without me I will tear the place apart and then hide”

And as from before - your pic titled Night Oak is amazing.

Keep ’em coming mate
