Moose head found on frozen lake

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.

Moose head found on frozen lake

Postby Manta on Fri Jan 04, 2008 10:34 pm

Okay, not quite what you thought but a great way to keep your beer cold. About 40 metres from the shore. The ice was about 4 inches thick and the deep groaning noises it makes echo across the lake in a most eerie way.... Something no Queenslander gets to hear very often!

Thanks DM and Dodge.

DM - it was passable but the temperatures dictated a quick shift to the warming properties of several varieties of red wine that were on offer. And there I stayed.... :roll:

Simon,

Great shot. You're even almost nailed the wb, which is looking just a tad blue on the mac.

This would make a great advertising shot, or even a magazine cover.

Thanks all. Makes my lying face down down on the ice worth it!

Gary - You're definitely right about the bluish WB. I can only blame a slow brain during late night processing!

Great find and an equally good shot. Should offer this one to the brewer, I am sure that they would also love it. :D

Thank you Rel and John. I appreciate your comments. I'll have a play around with it to try to brighten the label a bit without blowing things. Should come up okay with some selective dodging.

(PS - It wasn't such a great find. I found it in my hand then just bent down and stuck it in the snow. :wink: )

:lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry to disappoint Matt. Being an animal-lover and all, perhaps I could do the equivalent of how we bury things up to their necks in sand at the beach? (Now where's that ice cutter of mine....?)
