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.

. . . one to go. Unfortunatley this young boy has been a bit naughty in training and the vet was called in to perform a small operation to settle him down. A few mates have bought a farm and installed an automated acqua walker where race horses are spelled and get recovery training. They asked me to take some shots for their brochure and I went out today to get briefed on their requirements and take some sample shots ready for an early morning shoot tomorrow. Couldn't help feel a bit sorry for this fellow but the girls seemed to be enjoying it in some strange way.  . . . and NO - this is not for the brochure - How do you feel boys?

Things surely have changed compared to when my dad used to do this procedure on horses! Good to see the twitch is still used.
Nice image - good composition.

I've watched a few of these, worst ones were those during the popularity of the short acting muscle relaxant Suxamethonium - if the vet wasn't quick or got held up, drastic results could ensue. Not to mention that there was always an argument about the lack of analgesia under that particular drug... So much better these days. Good facilities and capable handlers like these make a big difference too. Nice composition. Might be just me, but I can see a place for that in the brochure, just not the front page. Michael

And not just the horse that's been naughty, eh? Please resize the image so that it complies with our guidelines, before we perform a small operation on your post, Bob.  I suspect that your frame may be doing more than you intended, and might have been overlooked in your assessment of the final size of this image. I personally believe that it does a lot less than you believe, but that's a different discussion.g.
