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.

Macro shot of my watch with Nikon AFS 300 F4 and Canon 500D closeup lens with builtin flash. Handheld.

The lens could AF with the 500D! Sharpness and bokeh are super. Much better than Nikon AFD 80 - 200 f2.8 and 50 f1.8!

:) When i first read the title of the thread i thought Seiko had released a macro :) Silly me.....

Awesome macro of an interesting subject. Nice and sharp. Well done. But there seems to be some interesting but appealing discolouration on the metal parts of the watch, particularly the bottom and the second-hand also the SEIKO on the watch face. What ISO did you use?

That's pretty sharp for being hand held at 300mm with such shallow DOF. Nicely done. :D

Errr... I can't remember the ISO setting. Should be 800 or 1000.

regards,
