"The Real Thing" ???

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.

At Taronga Zoo today - there's a sequence of these shots, from the time the bottle was retrieved from the water, through opening it (!!!) and then finishing off the contents. Will post once I've PP'd some more pics from today :)

70-300 G lens - really a bit slow for this sort of outing, but still got some good shots :)

I hope that she doesn't react as badly to Coke as my daughter... that would be ugly!!!

Nice shot... I keep trying to persuade the family to go to the zoo, but so far they haven't taken me up on the offer...
Cheers, John

hehe - we've been meaning to go again for ages, and finally got off our respective behinds and did it :) Joined up as Friends of the Zoo this time too, so I think there will be lots more visits still to come.

It's all a bit of a mess there at the moment, with heaps of construction going on. It's still a good day out though, if you manage to dodge all the pushchairs!

That's a great shot, well timed capture and nicely exposed too... Shows what that lens is capable of in skilled hands...

Those prams are mean things aren't they? I sometimes wonder which side of the fence the animals really are...

Good on ya for joing the FOTZ too, welcome from another animal nut :D
