That time of year again

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.

Top shots Virgs. Did you use your new lens for these? How are the muscles from carting it everywhere?

Nice set of shots that captures the range of experiences - great captures.
Especially like the night cowboy,sensational job getting the flaming whip - but the bike is sharp as especially over the distance at night

Not to mention the "Shit, I think I'm about to throw up!" pose on the model on the left. :)

I love the first of these Tony. Great exposure control; this was not an easy image to get.

The rest aren't too bad either.

Based on what I saw in Adelaide a few weeks ago, that is the norm. It's called, 'Dressing up to go out.' :)

To the images; Lovely examples of photography. The timing on the first and last two images are fantastic. Awesome use of available light too. Great work.

Marvin, yes hand held the 400 for 9 hours and it does get heavy. Funny though, now the 100-400 feels and looks like a straw compared to it. The fist and third shot were at 3200 ISO at f2.8 and this is where this lens really shines - has no problems with focus in low light and the ability to keep tracking as the objects are moving means a great deal more keepers than the 100-400. I have not used the flash at all when using this lens.

*drools*

The first and third images are amazing, the dude on the bike, or should say, flying with the bike, is an absolute stunner. great composition and the stark black background is perfect.

The second image brings new meaning to the term 'nipple cripple'... :shock:

top stuff...

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
