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.

Rob,
You perhaps retire your 70-300 ED by now!
It's useless once you got the 70-200VR and 200-400VR, what do you use for the Wide ends? perhaps the 18-70? I saw a missing gap in between your armory!

Super shot Rob. :D
But it does take a long time to load! Is it a large file, or are we at the whim of the host site?

I think it's pixspot... Not sure what the problem is, but I've noticed that it sometimes takes ages to serve up a picture... Seems to come and go...

Stunner!
You might want to aproach them with a model realese (offer them the photos in exchange)

Plenty of people would want great shots like that!

Seems better now - must have been the site's server.
Sorry about the implied criticism of your file size, Rob. :oops:

i told them i didnt mind putting them on a disk for them as i need them to perform for me so i spose this is payment for that, i'm sure when they get to know my prefered distance and what i want them to do i will get better shots , i had my laptop at the back of my 4wd showing them as soon as they came out of the water and they were rapt in the quality ( i'm still impressed ) ... cheers rob

and cricketfan if there WAS a file size problem i wouldnt know unless nice people like you asked the question so i didnt see it as a criticism

Rob, that is a fantastically clear and well exposed shot! If there's a national or local Wakeboarder's's magazine, you should submit these images (pending model releases).

More images like these and you'll start to make back the $7k on the lens! :D

You nailled it beautifully - shows the lens off well, not to mention your skills. What was the shutter speed?

$7-8k on a 200-400VR or $7-8k on a D2X :)

Atleast coupled with the 70-200VR the x2 crop might come out ok :)

I hate to admit it, but it's always puzzled me why you had such a strange nick (sirch55).

For some weird reason, while reading this post the penny finally dropped. Boy do I feel stupid. :oops: :oops: Sorry guys for going OT - Just thought I'd share. As a (related) aside - everytime I see a Terios I figure there's some marketing guy out there who at least showed some ingenuity.
