Cleaning procedure

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.

Thanks Sonny!

You've got pretty good chance to get it during AW even cheaper than they usually are from Birddog. I've got 24-120VR and 80-400VR and they worth every cent I paid for them

Hlop - very nice work :D I also agree with you about the 70-200 and 80-400VR's. I'm not getting rid of either.

Aw... you caught me unaware ... Don't know what to say ... Probably something like "Make me an offer" :)

My first impression - it's very clean for ISO800! Then I see the feathers - while the main spikes are still there, it's kinda lacking in finer details. I'd like to see a less noise removed version, preserving the feather details and perhaps along with the noise too. It's looking very Canonesque in its plasticity.

There are 2 things I really don't like - noise and CA. That's why I removed noise with neat image. Anyway, I'll try noise-removal-less version tonight if you wish to see it
It's looking very Canonesque ....

Don't swear on me, mate :!: :lol:

Especially for pure and only Onyx :) No noise reduction version:

P.S. I applied color aliasing removal to make noise pure colorless but didn't remove noise itself

Awesome Mikhail, wow I feel so special you made that version on my request. :)

The bit of grittiness IMO has injected life into it. ;)

That's a fantastic shot Mikhail... Where was it taken?

I too prefer the second shot... It has a little more life in it...
Cheers, John
