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 the Zoo.With 80-200 ED, this one is a pain to carry around (1.3 Kg).
All handheld , Jpeg mode.Auto WB.

She flys too fast and high. Lens is heavy and a little slow AF.

It just land on the post.The sun is bright and my fill flash is too weak to overcome the sun light.

Oh......

#1 - too far away, harsh lighting......can't see much detail in the wings
#2 - too dark, no detail in the shadows. Needs some fill light (as already stated). Also it's a butt shot. Plus the surrounding follaige is a bit distracting.

Hi

Steve it is Sydney Taroga zoo.This is live Bird show this bird is extremely fast, the show guy throw food or somethings into the air and she just flys very fast to catch it on the air.

MCWB , thank for nice comment , but the 1 st pic is a litlte OFF because panning , but I will try .

Thank Darryl I had no choice because can not move out of my seat, can't even stand up, people everywhere so I just grab what I can, I am saving for the SB800 as my old one Metz 32ct7 has very low power GN, hope I will do better next time.

Glen, now I have 26 posts only 4 more then I become a member :lol:
