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.

This is the first pic that I've posted, taken with 18-70 kit lens. It was also one of the first shots I took with my D70. It's a bit soft, but I guess you've gotta start somewhere.

Comments most welcome.

Welcome to the forums John.

Nice shot, though perhaps a touch too dark (do you shoot RAW?)

I'd love to go to Tassie with my D70 for a while, you live in a very photogenic place.

Great photo, the softness adds to the photo. If you want to sharpen it a bit, use unsharp mask in either NC or photoshop :)

Nice first post, John. Look forward to seeing more.

Pictures do soften up a bit going from Pixspot to the Forum for some reason. As has been said, I don't think it hurts this picture any.

But what did you do to that poor little rose to make it cry? :wink:

Welcome!

Thanks for the feedback all.

This was shot as jpeg fine L not raw. I haven't done any raw yet. I purposely darkened the background in PS because the background was pretty ordinary.

Tassie is certainly a special place for things to photograph. Just as soon as I get something I think is half decent, I'll post them. I'm certainly going thru a steep learning curve with this magnificant camera.

Those little tears on the rose are your typical Tassie morning dew (or did it just stop raining, can't remember).

Cheers
John
