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.

Brought the D200 to the cricket at the SCG on Sunday. Great seats for watching the game (Row P, upper deck of the Churchill Stand) but lousy for taking photos as it was up too high. Still, I stuck on the 70-200VR & 1.7x TC and had a go. Got a couple of nice shots of some of the Aussie lads having a tonk. Had to remove the TC for the 2nd innings, and pretty much got nothing of note all night. Saw someone in the bay across, looked like he had a Canon 400/2.8 or similar (I think, looked a bit bigger than the 300/2.  ... What I wouldn't have given for a 400/2.8, and a seat on the boundary  Still, can't really complain. Got my money's worth in runs and excitement for the day.

These are pretty good for that combo - have you cropped them? I like the one of Roy being clean bowled by Sharma's slower ball. Did you catch any of the following sledging? Well done.

cheers for the feedback, cricketfan Yes, they are massively cropped. Can't get that close from row P of the Churchill top deck! Unfortunately I didn't get the verbals after the dismissal. Tended to mostly concentrate on the delivery and shot - that's something to focus on next time I guess!

Great shots, and I can feel the pain associated with being too far from the action. At the Ashes at the MCG, we were in row nose-bleed in the Great Southern Stand and all I had was the 80-200. Fortunately, I managed to get Shane Warne's 700th test wicket! By the way, if Roy was playing for my team, he would have been fined for looking back on his stumps after getting bowled.

Great images, all things considered. The last two are excellent insofar as they capture the action very well.
