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.

While not perfect, this one isn't too bad (IMHO) for a handheld with closeup filter attached :)

Kit lens, +2 closeup filter, some cropping to bring it all in closer...

thanks sheepie :)

i can now say that the shot is wonderful as it was at 70mm, which is close enough to scare the bee/fly/wasp ... great capture!

Everyone sources the closeup filter kit, I have the brand new Canon 500D from NYC that Onyx brought home with him.

Can we start a "Fly Hunting Club" or called as FHC ? cos summertime is on its way and there's lot of shooting opportunities. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great shot Sheepie :wink:

I had one of these bloody things following me around at work today.
I ended up hitting the thing with my cap to get rid of it :evil:

Sorry mate I thought of you as I done it :wink:

Cheers
Ray :P
