Leopard

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.

Well a Leopard of the City Index variety. Crossed the line in 2nd place in the 2007 Sydney Hobart.

The first one was taken with 85/1.4 on D3.

The next two were taken with 20/2.8 on D3. With the cpl on it was vignetteing a bit with the full frame. I quite like the vignette in the final one.

Nice shots John, I'm beginning to see why you like the 85 f/1.4

I agree the vignette in the 3rd looks very good.

They are nice images... I also like the vignette... but do feel that its a tad overdone...

Gee, there's something about those D3 images. Clarity - depth? I used to feel that about images from the D2X, but this is almost another dimension.

I dunno exactly how to describe it, but it is seriously enviable. :shock:

Isn't it just?

John sent me an out of the camera jpg from another image he'd posted, and all I can say is wow!

Thanks for the comments. The vignette was there by accident though. :oops:
I'm used to using the 20/2.8 with a cpl on it on my D200. This was the first time out with it on the full frame D3. Can't get away with it on the full frame camera. I'm now looking for a step up ring so I can use a larger diameter cpl.

Cheers
