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.

Those of you in Sydney may have heard we have been having an exceptionally wet time of it today (So far about 95mm since 09:00 most of it in an hour about 16:00) All the usual: landslides, train derailments, flooding, accidents. Anyway it coaxed this VERY noisy fella out I tried moving the leaf, but he hopped away.  The only half way decent shot I got after he moved. Yes I know I blew the focus, but hey it was raining, and I was trying to juggle camera, flash and umbrella. Even with Pam's help it was difficult. If I had nailed the focus I think it would have been a winner. Cry is "birdlike" Similar character to a crow, but MUCH higher pitched (Imagine a crow breathing helium) Any ideas on who he is? Any ideas on how to do this better (I don't have a wetsuit) Greg
It's easy to be good... when there is nothing else to do

Nice one,
I know we have one up here called the mountains bleeting tree frog. He does noy sound like a crow on helium though, more like an oversized cricket.
We have at least four different calls going off here at the moment, noisy little buggers.

Under the circumstances, I think you've done well. I reckon there are about 1,000,000 of the blighters outside my house tonight (North Nowra). They are more of a mass choir than a chorus. I wonder where they go when it's dry?

I don't think its too far off, the stuff in the foreground in front of his foot looks really sharp and his eye is not too far behind (sharpness terms). I tried moving the leaf, but he hopped away.
lol, i was looking at a frog not so long ago and I could not get the little bugger to move, bar smacking him with the camera  he had no issues having the lens stuck in his eye then blinded by the flash...  maybe you one was a shy kinda frog  A good effort greg and kudos for getting out in the wet!

I think it is a good shot of a frog in its habitat.
