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.

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.

Wow Arthur these are great...

The first one is such a regal pose, dramatic lighting but detailed shadowy areas... And the second is a hard one to get and so detailed on the underside too, well done...

FYI, these are two different birds.

The top is the Brown Falcon that we were stalking a lot on the day. The second is a Whistling Kite.

Good shots btw Arthur, I'll have to check mine to see how sharp they are.
I so need 500 with 1.4x, I have a good behaviour shot of the Brown Falcon and Willy Wagtail.

Here is the same Brown Falcon a few seconds later getting harrassed by a Willy Wagtail. Take notice of the white markings on the head of the Willy Wagtail. I'm pretty sure these only come out when they're aggressive.

Nice shots guys! I must admit though, that I was expecting to see a pic of Mark Latham when I clicked on this thread... :lol:

Cheers

Arthur was using a Nikkor 300 F/4 AF-S with a 1.4x TC (think Nikon brand).
I was using the Nikkor 70-200VR F/2.8 with Nikkor TC1.7IIE. And for anybody who cares, Nicole was using the 80-400VR F/? :)

Thanks Kipper. I've been tossing whether to buy an 80-400VR(Oh for AFS VR!) or sell my 80-200F/2.8 AF-D Tripod collar version and getting the 70-200AFS VR and TC 1.7. Now there's a choice for you!

thanks.

for birdie shots, go for AFS 300F4. Sharper with TC than zooms. Very well balanced. You get better shots right away if you are able to handle 80 - 200 f2.8.

regards,

Arthur

No, for birdie shots go 500 F/4 or 600 F/4 and get a TC :)
