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.

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.

G'day all,
Got up early (06:30) to get out the back of Marysville (and later at Badger Creek, out the back of Healesville) to go bush-walking... Absolutely fantastic, drizzling rain made the forest come alive. Including the bloody leaches, strewth I HATE those things. I'm OK with spiders and snakes but HATE leaches... Had to stop 3 or 4 times to get the mongrels off... Yuk!!! Did I say I HATE leaches??? 
Anyway, all better now after a long hot shower, some of the tracks were storm damaged (the actual steps had fallen into the river, so you had to very carefully struggle around some trees etc) but a great morning's wander...
Anyway, just a couple from the trek... All with kit lens (AFS DX 18-70)
Share or critique... What-ever you're comfortable with... if you like bush then GET UP THERE, it's absolutely beautful...
Cheers,
Mudder
 Aka Andrew

Andrew. I detest those slimy little black suckers too (pun intended!). If I go somwehere I think they are every little itch feels like there's a leech there (of course they never are)
I really like the first shot. The other too are a bit problematic. Contentwise they're ok, but I'd have liked both a little taller as I find the tree trunks with no canop distract me more from the ferns than I think the tree might.
Sure looks lie a pretty place - shame about the leeches

Geez I'm jealous of your greenery down there Mudder. Dare I say it...would you mind sending some rain up our way occasionally??!!
Lovely shots all. You have a real affinity with the forest. Methinks you're part elf.

Great pics AGAIN, Andrew. I hate those bally hanging on suckers as well. You gave to be careful how you get them off. You shouldn't pull the body off and leave the mouth in the skin.
Regards

G'day Mic,
I couldn't help it, just had to get the bloody things off... I even had one in my hair that got onto my hand when I brushed my hands through my hair... I just about stripped when I got back to the car, tried to hide but I think a couple of people were watching from another car, so much fuss over such a little thing 
My brother had one that he ripped off after it got it's mouth-part well into him and it went septic, yuk! Hope mine didn't leave their grubby little gobs in me 
I've heard that you carry a small salt shaker and put salt on them to get them to retreat as it burns them... Must take some next time... Strewth I hate those little mongrels...
Cheers mate. Aka Andrew

Great shoot mudder,
Ever thought of a Pano of Lush Green Tree Ferns ?
Might look pretty good.
Mic.
