Sustainable farming

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.

I took it in in India last year from the bus we were travelling in. That very
morning I discovered I had taken the wrong charger for the SLR and I had to
use my point and shoot stand-by camera - not a happy puppy...

Thanks your comment, Norwest. I agree with you and I was very
angry with myself, but then again photography is not only
about the equipment we use, but about the subject and how
we capture that moment with what we have and our skills.
Don't you agree? :D

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Lovely stuff. When it comes to travelling, sometimes it really doesn't matter what gear you have. Use what you have at hand and soak up the experience :)

Hi Zafra - interesting places you visit :) - I'd also like to have seen some more room on the right or taken the shot from 20m (or however much) to the right so the camel and driver are angled more towards the bottom right corner rather than away.

I'm not sure why wireless charging isn't a reality too - my shaver and toothbrush have it (induction presumably) and you can get those pads for charging phones and things.

Much better in the processing dept. :cheers: No obvious pixelation/sharpening artifact.
