Facing the mob

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.

Facing the mob

Finally got a sunny day in Taranaki last week, dusted off my old (in fact new) 50mm F1.4 and off I went a-driving. I was faced with a huge herd of mean looking calves. (I actually thought I was back in Oz - they were just a lobby group looking for a handout.)

Anyway, here's few straight from the camera, just cropped.

Oh wow... how sharp is that lens!!!! I bought the 50mm 1.8 and while I adore it I'm sorry I didn't wait for the 1.4 now.. (they didn't have any in stock)..

I was drawn to the second one straight away and I keep on going back to it.. the others are also great (specially the first) but number 2 has my vote! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Thanks Bindii and Catcha, I literally got the last minute of sunlight on the 2nd shot before the light went out. And that's saying something for NZ. Any sunlight is a remarkable thing over here...

Sue, you will love the 1.4 when/if you get one. It is my only travel lens at the moment, and I am blown away by the colours it produces.
