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.

What else could I expect from you :wink:

I am waiting for Nicole, Kipper, Mudder to come along and let me know exactly what it is. I hope I have not left anyone out.


Cheers,

Fozzie, I have just displayed 50% of my ornithological knowledge for all on this forum. The remaining 50% is "It's not a duck or seagull".

Hope the others will be more useful, looks like a flying yellow beaked penguin to me. Must say it is a good shot by you, nice combo the 300 + 1.7 :wink:

Fozzie...you know I can't help myself. I wonder if there is such a thing as a bird nerd? :) BTW, it's a Little Pied Cormorant. It is a nice combo and nice shot too. :)

Fozzie - nice shot. I'm a bit like Glen - but given it has webbed feet and slicked looking feathers I'd say it's aquatic, but then it's a puzzle seeing something aquatic in a tree.

I also like the combo very much. I just need to spend more time with it. This was it's second outing - with plenty of throw aways. Another day, another challenge.

I found the 70-200VR + TC-17EII combo much easier.

Cheers,
fozzie

Nice pic.

I like the webbed feet and the position of the bird.

It's a yellow-bellied-sap-sucker for sure, no doubt about it... :shock:
