Death stare

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.

Never ever annoy a female anytime, anywhere. :wink: They are beautiful shots Marc, and really display the mood of the lady.

Marc - super shooting.

I love the intensity 'BIG CATS' lay on, just as long as I am not the target.

And the 500 gives one an even safer working distance from this hungry damsel.

Marc, great colours, focus, captures.

Very nice. With all that light were you tempted to add on the 1.7? I would like an even tighter shot. You certainly had a great time over there!

......oh yes..... but I am the brave type that would add a 2Xtc to a 500mm..... just to get back a bit more

Marc,

love the eye contact in the first one.

Bernie and Gary, as long as you stay in the vehicule, they don't consider you a meal. However, if you are foolish enough to step out :shock: :shock:

give the camera to someone else for the action shots :twisted: :twisted:

Great captures, I've been really enjoying your photos Marc,

Cheers,

André

I LOVE the eye contact in number one. She really has the look of "not happy Jan" :)
Super shots
