Rush hour............

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.

Geoff, I would be inclined to crop the tree tops off and maybe up the contrast and saturation a bit. It would become a semi abstract type of shot.

correction to the title....

this is commonly known as 'meat bombing'
:rotfl2:

I agree on the crop and would also either ditch the vignetting on the RHS or add it to the LHS as well.

i think the trees give this image context and a reference point. in a perfect world we would be able to see the action a little clearer as they are a bit small in the frame. but i like it anyway....tells a cool story.

I'd prefer to keep the trees for reference. I think the minor issue is that you feel a little removed from the action due to the distance... Hmm I saw a recent landscape with major clonage on some birds... :wink:

Can you post the EXIF data ..? :wink:

Also where the heck is your deck located?? :shock: You seem get some great vistas! :cheers: Would love to see a wide angle of your deck as well. We can all drool.
