Power of the 70-200VR

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.

Power of the 70-200VR

A couple of images of my youngest son from today. 2nd image is just a blow up of the 1st (although have retouched "grey/dead tooth" slightly in the 2nd shot....that's another story). The 70-200VR is an almighty beast! When I zoom in on the original image the scope to crop & print at will is amazing. I don't think this post will do it justice but anyway here it is.

Not sure how this will turn out posted, but in PS the clarity & sharpness at big enlargements is incredible.

Huh... looks fine to me... I'm sure the original was even sharper though...

I love the ability to crop my full-res shots and still get decent resolution...
Cheers, John

Nice capture of a fun expression.
The only distracting point is the piece of wood coming from out of your son's head.
Plenty of background you can clone from though. :)

Hi,

here is another example of portrait taken with the 70-200mm VR.
I have blown the highlights a bit, but else I believe it is a good
portrait of someone having lunch.

Enjoy, also comments are very welcome.

Cheers

p.s.: Birddog, not another duck - another LARGE duck ...

Hey all, Thanks for your comments.
Joolz, that piece of wood is actually embedded in his back. See this previous post:

So now I just go with the flow. I'm gonna get my wife to hold him down and grind those bits that stick up away tomorrow. He's cool with it, we asked him last week if we could grind it off but he needed it for "Show and tell" this week at school!
