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.

Yep, we've been out working again :)

Actually taken with a very old Canon G2 - I'm not scared to balance it on a rock in the middle of a creek and hit the shutter - has been doused a couple of times :(

Rel,

two very beautiful photos you have here. Really like the waterfall and the nice rocks surrounded by the green vegetation.

Dragonfly is awesome, vibrant colours, great background, tack sharp. Looks like a tough life for a dragonfly, tough plant to eat :wink: :wink:

thanks for sharing,

André

Two lovely images. I am seeing a lot of great macro on the site at the moment... more lenses to lust after!

Thanks guys :)

Sorry Geoff - we are doing some work for the GCCC, we've been surveying one of their conservation areas that runs from Eagle Heights all the way down the mountain to Wongawallon Road .. this little creek is called Running Creek, and there are a series of falls all the way through the system - this is one of the small sets of 'rapids'. It was a very very long day - we spent the day doing macroinvertebrate surveys along the creek system, and then all night until midnight doing microbat surveys ... we'll be up again so definitely meet up for a coffee ..

actually, if I ever get my finger out (and actually have some time off), we'll organise a minimeet - but god knows when :(

Hugs
Rel

Sound like fun and somewhere the public can't access? I am looking forward to that coffee :)
