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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

 Of a bush rat, Rattus fuscipes  Gorgeous little buggers, but smelly as hell !!! Been trapping at Mt Tamborine (Hi Geoff ). I've been trying to get a photo of one of these guys for years - literally - but they are really jumpy, and HATE the sound of the shutter going off, and as for the flash !! For the first time ever, we had a bush rat that actually sat on the log when we let it go, and just watched me - let me take shots, let me CHIMP shots !!!! It almost seemed to pose, and then was gone  I'm happy !!

Hi Rel nice captures. Everything works so well, composition, exposure, sharpness. The only problem I have is the subject matter, it's vermin!
How long you out and about in my stomping ground?

Very nice photos, sharp and colourful. I guess patience also was a major asset.

This is definitely a model in the mouse world.  Look how he/she is zoolander(ing) you in the first. Send it for the cover of mouse vogue....  Brilliant! PS: One could cool down the first a tad.

Excellent shots, as always, Rel.
I wonder whether the white balance is correct. The first one looks a bit warm on my monitor.

 after having the displeasure of watching that movie, i have to agree. These are great shots, that first one is something you expect out of a wildlife magazine etc...that paw placement is spot on  AND..its all the more amazing that it is in the wild!

Hey everyone Sorry I haven't responded - been working nightshift and finishing at 2am, which I really don't handle well  Thanks for the feedback - you are probably right about the warmth/wb in the first, but I can't tell on this monitor. Still on the borrowed laptop, which has a strange blue hue to the screen I just can't figure out ... as soon as my poor old lappy gets fixed I'll be able to fix it all up Was soooooo lucky that this little one actually sat - like I said, this has never happened for me before with a bush rat, melomys yes, but fuscipes no way in hell This little one must have been in either a really good mood, or was too scared to move. Judging by the behaviour of all of it's bretheren that we've dealt with over the years, I'm guessing good mood Hugs Rel
