I got lucky!

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.

I got lucky!

I know that there are things wrong with this image but I saw this bird coming and was lucky enough to be able to capture it. I thought that it rounded the image out.

Oneputt,

Well done, you must be :D .

When I read the subject... ' got lucky!', I thought you must have won the Lottery big time.


Goodbye for now,

Gee I though about sex!

Anyways, oneputt, awesome pic. This one would look great framed. And I agree the bird is a nice touch.

Yeah, I was thinking this'd be the first in a series of D70 porn.. you know, like 4 D2h's in an orgy with a D70, or maybe some rape D70 porn.. a 300D being assaulted by a D70 with the 200-400 on the front...

That's a great image, that would look great in a frame on the wall... The bird adds nicely to the scene, well captured.

Cheers,

Sweet all round. Very nicely balanced and the colours are seet too.

Is it the wreck of the 'Cherry Venture' up Rainbow Beach?

This image is why I bought a split ND Cokin filter. I was tired of not compromising foreground detail for wicked cool sunsets. Great job and composition, I wish I could see some detail in the foreground though, nothing you can really do without a split ND filter. Great work.

Beautiful shot

Well done. Beautiful shot. What time of the day was the shot taken? Have you consider cropping out the grey clouds at the top?
