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.

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.

Went to South Head for a picnic for Mother's Day. Most taken with the Sigma 105, others with the 18-70DX (damn it feels odd to have that on the camera again).

What a coincidence - I was just listening to the Beatles. But I'm drawing a blank of which photo would fit which song.

Perhaps Chris is making a reference to the Japanese Mini Subs that infiltrated Sydney Harbour in WWII, only this time they are using land based operatives (Meet the local).

Very poor taste Chris :lol:

In a very obscure way and one probably only accessible to people of a certain age...
I think that Chris was trying to say that he liked Image i.e. picture number nine...

It was a reference to the track Revolution Number 9 from The White Album...

I like it too BTW, but it could possibly benefit from a crop...
Cheers, John

That's a great collection of photos :) Love the macro work.

Hehe I've been listening to a lot of the best of Beatles at work lately...it's a nice mix when thrown in with Dave Matthews Band, Linkin Park, a bit of a trance and house....do I sound mixed up yet :D

Spot on John - The White Album, IMO, is the best they ever did.

I just love - Number 9 - Number 9 - Number 9

Reminds me a little of a certain 42 - 42 - 42 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nick

To answer your DOF question first - definitely the first one. The whole flower appears in focus (even though on close inspection it isn't) which makes the whole image seem much sharper.

Of the pics I particularly like your angle for numbers 8 and 9 which really use DOF to great effect. So far as number 12 - WTF an asian cowboy :shock:

#13, while it captures the event, is way too busy for my tastes and lacks a central focus to draw me into the image.

#16 is superb. Only thing I'd do is clone out the OOF pine tree top in the background bottom middle.

Choosing a best Beatles album is difficult in the extreme Chris. I love the White Album too, although it is probably the least coherent album they made. In the original vinyl, the choice of four sides was an embarrassment of riches. So many fantastic individual efforts. One of my favourite "under noticed" tracks is Cry Baby Cry.

But I digress, very nice shots pippin, I like #7 & #10 in particular.
