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.

hey colin.. australian native orchids are awesome in my opinion, whilst i know very little about them, I have seen them about on walks and they are always a little marvel by themselves.... :)

is #1 the sameone as #4?

I quite like #2 and #3, I took the liberty of having a quick PP crack at them since in my opinion them seem quite dark - I will take the images down asap if you do not like them!

plant nuts like me.


nuttin' wrong with that :roll:

Great shots.

:agree: that #2 and 3 are a little dark. BigGerry I think you need the RAW to edit those two properly, you have made a good effort but the image quality has degraded esp in #3. Valiant effort though.

Yes they are probably a little dark. I did darken them slightly to subdue the flash effects.
No probs with having a play. I don't use raw as I am to lazy to process all shots, so these are jpegs out of the camera with minimal pp. I will have to alter #4.

I was expecting bananas. :)

A little contrast adjustment will have these images popping out of the screen.
