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.

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.

sorry for the silly question guys but is a tighter crop when you cut off more of the surrounding picture and focus on the main item more?. Thanks Stephen

Correct. In the meercat pic, the rocks at the bottom could be cut off giving more prominance to the main subject.

I'd have to agree with a tighter crop also, but what magnificent animals the Meer Cats are! They are such poses, and just beautiful. Fantastic shot!

Just noticed your crop as I was previewing my post....very nice!

G'day John,

I always thought they were so cute and cuddly, till I saw feeding time at the Werribee Open Plains Zoo, where they were feeding them mice cut in half! You shoulda seen the buggers go into a feeding frenzy then :shock:

Nuther quickie... They are cute little tackers aren't they...?

Yes Andrew i think they would get a bit savage but still can just imagine sitting here in the lounge and 1 of these jump up and sit on your shoulder and sticky beak around, oh well i will just have to train my cat who doesn't come in that often. More like Lisa wont let him in.
