We have water!!!

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.

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.

Finally the Menindee lake system is filling. Our family owns a shack beside one of the lakes so we spend a lot of time there. The good news is when the water is about the wildlife flourishes.

A photo for reference of how low the water was a couple of weeks ago, this road leads out the the middle of one of the main lakes in the system.

I think this is a Verigated Fairy Wren Birders may know better.

Oh I adore the fairy wren shot... and the rainbow bee eater also... I saw a flock of these guys just a month or so ago but sadly they were too high up for me to get a shot... (noisy little buggers aren't they!)...

and stoked that you guys have rain... its about time too! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Thanks for the reply Sue,

Yeah i couldn't believe the noise from the bee eater they remind me a bit of the noise a crickets make.

I thought i was pushing it going for the wren shots when taking them with such a low shutter but concentrations on technique brought them through i think.
