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.

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.

Cormorant spreading wings

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago at the Onkaparinga wetlands here in South Australia. I actually got really muddy, as I was crawling hands and knees so not to scare the Cormorant off by my approach. But it was all in all quite enjoyable and managed a frame filling shot.

Nice shot. Sharp and good exposure.
I would probably do a bit of photoshopping to remove the darker band at the top.

Super shot Potato 1, like above, the bank on the horizon distracts from the subject, a bit of cloning through there would clean it up.

That is a fantastic shot. The eye contact really makes this image great. Congrats on such a fine shot.
