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 joined some friends for an early morning in The Rocks on Australia Day to photograph the GIO Oz Day 10K wheelchair race. It was a great morning to be out shooting and the action was good (and boy can some of those Paralympic Athletes move). It was perfect for practicing both telephoto closeup shots of the action as well as some wide angle panning technique. A little pre race practicing on the course  The leaders steaming into the Rocks on the first lap  Some wide angle panning on one of the bends - 1/50th sec at 23mm with a little pop of flash from the on camera flash in Slow Sync mode - this one felt like it almost took me out   Down further on the course I could get really close to the riders without being run down on the corner - here I'm using a slightly faster shutter at 1/100 sec at 35mm and again a kiss of on camera flash. I got lucky and framed riders coming in opposite directions on the course.  lastly an image which to me showed the grim determination and incredible upper body strength of some of these athletes - it's not technically perfect but I like the image none the less...  any suggestions for improvement from people who actually know what they are doing when shooting sports more than welcome D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

You don't need any suggestions ....you have arrived. They are excellent shots. #3 is just like being there in that it drags the viewer into the image. Beautiful work.

All of these are wonderful. I do have a soft spot for #1, the eye contact is great!

You nailed them Rodney. All are great but #1 would be my pick because of the eye contact. To offer a suggestion, perhaps a tighter crop, but then again maybe not!

All great shots Rodney.
My only comment would be a little less vignette on the first image, maybe by 40% less. Otherwise excellent work.
