Just a few pics to beat me up about . . .

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 little bit of critique:

The bolt: without a title it would be hard to know what this pic is about! If you have a macro lens get in closer or change the angle to eliminate the out of focus piece of wood.

The fire engine: I like this shot but could do with a dodging on the left hand side.

The rose: lovely colour - was this shot with flash?

The jet: Nice positioning needs to be a little sharper - have you used any USM on this shot?

Burning rubber - again a very nice shot but needs to be sharper.

As you said not bad for a Newbie and in a very short time you will be putting up excellent shots

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks guys

None of the pics have any work done, except resizing in photoshop for download.

"The Bolt" - 70-300 tamron, auto

Fire engine - 180-70 kit lens, flash

The rose was shot on auto, in my kitchen, no flash 18-70 kit lens (still trying to figure the camera out)

The Jet, final at sydney, 70-300 tamron

Burning rubber, the reason the shot appears blurry is due to the jet exhaust from the two engines (I think)

Wow...

ahh those 70-300 lenses are the great unknown arent they...

In the right conditions they produce punchy images and in some places flat...
