Down at the river

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.

Family picnic today near Bellingen. Took the E-pl2, 40-150mm lens and off camera flash. My 16mo grandson was having a great time in the chilly water...

Oz,

Love the first one. Great colour, eye contact, composition. It has it all.

1 & 2 for me, but all of them are very
good and deserve a place in the family
album. Each phograph in the collection
provides clues to the personality of the
subject and are treasured memories
of a happy family event. I love those two
little teeth showing and the smile...

Thanks gents. Nicky really is the happiest little chap ever. However, he hates having his photo taken.

Although Russell has a joint just down the road from here, (and I have met him a couple of times), he is not related to my grandson, that I know of..... :lol:

Incidentally, it was Rusty's birthday yesterday. 48, I believe, for the great Rabbitoh himself.

I reckon you could warm that critter up a little to help it blend into the environment....or 1/4 CTO.

Did you hand hold the flash? :wink:

Ozi - a series of great shots with beautiful colour and sharpness. However, I am tempted to caption them:

1 So I’m having a pee pee, so what!

2 That Russian ballet dancer has nothing on me

3 I’ll look nice and innocent in this one for grandpa

4 Oh well! Time to do that baby thing everyone wants a photo of
