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.

Hiya,

Was a the Moomba watersking yesterday trying out my new 70-200f2.8IS lens. Took loads about 250 photos, but only 16 were ok... I put it down to user-error. Need to learn to pan better and set the shutter speed correctly for sports. Here are some of my images please free to C&C

#1 is a good shot however I am not sure if he is doing a flip or falling off
#2 the framing is a little tight (not little tights, soz pun :P), otherwise the lighting is great and the water looks really good
#3 is a beauty, again it may deserve a little more space?

edit: and I only get 1 keeper out of 100 from panning... you are doing alright :D
