NRMA Careflight and a bit of fun

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.

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.

NRMA Careflight and a bit of fun

Lucas' charity donation for 2008 goes to the NRMA Careflight. They sent him this little bear today which he fell in love with. They are very similar shots, not sure which one i prefer most.
14-24mm.

A bit of fun before bath time. (i think i went a bit overboard on the guassian blur here.) Technically not a great shot, but a nice moment.

And a bit of fun in the bath too.

thanks for looking. :cheers:

I really like #3 and #4 but the eyes don't look quite right in the last, did you PS them a little ?

the third is brilliant, great use of empty space and really suits B&W

All great shots Rooz.
I personally prefer the 2nd shot as we see more of your son's face.
The 4th image is great too, but the WB looks a bit warm to me..either that OR the water was too hot (hehe).

Fair enough (the spooky purple hand is freaking me out now). I might need new pills.

The 2nd shot for me. Having the extra room around him adds to the image.
No# 3 is also fantastic.

Cheers
