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.

. . . . I finally got a Jabiru There are only a couple of these on the Sunshine Coast. I've seen one a few times at Lake Mac Donald near Noosa and once at Coolum on flooded farmland. Never got close enough to photograph one though. This afternoon I went for a walk along the Maroochy River and spotted this one out from the mangroves. Came home and got the gear and drove back down and waited for the sun to get down low enough. Manager a good dozen keepers in different poses. This was full frame and just cropped to square. Comments welcome:  Bob

Nice golden light Bob but II notice that it washes out the metalic sheen on the greeny neck feathers a little bit. Congrats on crossing off another species on the list

Well done - a nice capture. The plain water background looks good too.

Perhaps you can send it off to a nature magazine if it's a rare species??

Very good photograph. In fact excellent.
Now, I am wondering if a different square
crop of the same picture might improve it
further. Consider a square crop leaving the
same distance between the left and right
edge and positioning the head on the
intersection of the rule of thirds. Perhaps
it doesn't.

I love the light! The green feathers are nice, and the pale background really lifts this image

Bob This is a great shot, it is interesting how the birds feathers at the base of the neck remble an image of an emu's head looking towards the back of the bird.
