Post your favorite pic of the moment

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'd have to say my favourite would change at least once a week, but this one is my current favourite from a recent wedding Geoff and I shot....

Cheers,

This is my fav at the moment (Although Mic that's one good looking specimen you've got there!) :oops:

It would be what I consider to be my best B&W shot since owning my D70....god it's hard to be serious after seeing Mic's post. Especially when its my dial on there!

Anyway here it is:

I have a feel fior myself and for (more so) for people on this forum that there is a lot of talent begging for the taking...
Now for my point: print these images! Put them in a frame with a nice matt border!!!

This is my fave shot at the moment. I like it because I took it while I was experimenting with my D70, and caught my daughter totally unaware.... BTW awesome shots everyone....

Here's mine... a friend's recent trip to South America... I'd love to take the D70 to this location. Somwhere in Peru I think? Taken with a Ca**on IXUS... but an incredible location.

Look's amazing!

That is incredible, Alistair, just love it!

If people are doing the non D70 thing, then here's mine. It's film ("What is that?" I hear you cry...), and I can't change anything with it, but still love it!

This one has stood the test of time for me. Taken with the (gulp) digi rebel. I wonder what it would look like in BW?

I would suggest that "of the moment" means a favourite that was taken receently? Ie, a somewhat transient favourite? .. otherwise it'll be the same month in month out, until its beaten ... few and far between

So within the past 7 days, this is my own fave ... nowhere near my overall favourite (which gives me a stroke just thinking about tryting to decide on ONE master favourite!)

my good mate and his girlfriend.

from my first roll of film playing with an extension tube a few months ago. Won me a highly commended in a local photo competition (verse omitted) apparently didnt win only because its physical print size was outside of permitted entry size. GRR! :P
