Merry Christmas DSLRusers - post ur image to sum up the year

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.

Well I spent a good part of the year renovating my flat at Marsfield. All finished now and tenants moved in. It may have paid itself off in a couple of years.

Hopefully I will find time for a few photos in the coming year.

That is a staggeringly beautiful photograph. A master print! Can I suggest that you enter it into the Moran portrait prize in 2014? Seriously. If you do that it will get hung.

I haven't posted anything for most of the year. I've just been slack to be honest :oops:

For me the most memorable moment from 2013 was my 3 week trip to Yellowstone. I shot a truck load of photos, but one of my favourites is of this Red Fox...

Have a great festive and holiday season everyone! :up:

It's images like yours that are the reason I love photography. One day that fox will be gone...that wilderness will be gone....but your photograph will endure. Generations of the future will look at your image and say, "Gosh! So that's what it was like. It must have been so beautiful!".

No images today, but a merry Christmas to all in DSLR-land. I'm singing in a mens' quartet tonight (singing "The Holy City") at our church's carol night, so maybe I'll get a few images to post from there. Singing and photographing at the same time should be interesting...
