Before They Die

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.

My Mum likes these flowers she got and asked me for a few snaps before they O.D. Don't even know what they are or how long they last..?

Anyways, gave the 70-200 a run and put the VR to work. Tried different spots in the window light.

The last is a pearler Phepsi. I love the light splash on the flower and the treatment in this case really suits the image.
cheers

they are all nice shots, I would have tried one straight on so you could see the stamen, with the background OOF the others

Thanks guys. :)

I'm quite an uncreative person and can't think of many ideas usually. Also a bit lazy. Tripods make me squirm. :)

They are Tulips and you've done a good job with them.
I luv the deep purplish pink variety on them and have been waiting for them to come in to the florists

Cheers. :)

Does #3 look really crap from compression? Looks fine on my iMac, but on my Dad's new iMac it looks bloody awful! Screens are on the same profile too, but his is glossy screen..
