Boxing Day, Botanical Gardens

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.

Boxing Day, Botanical Gardens

Here are a few of the shots I got from my failed attempt to catch the yachts at the start of the Sydney to Hobart (we missed the yachts as the start line was not at Fort Denison so we wandered through the Botanical Gardens). Unfortunately I forgot to check and I was only shooting JPG and not my usual RAW + JPG (lesson learnt). As always straight out of camera

My good friend and his 6 day old Nikon D60 (Sigma 180mm Macro)

A little puppy (Nikkor 70-200mm VR)

Dragonflies -correct me if I am wrong here (Sigma 180mm Macro)

Proof that the 55-200mm VR can make good pictures!!

For the full set from the day (including some not so good pictures) have a look at:
