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.

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.

Hi All, Well at the track again on the weekend for ride day and had a good turn out. Started out a bit damp but sun came out and made a good day for most, had a couple of spills and well some people will bring there good everyday street bikes to the track for a ride. Here is just a few pics of one of the riders day out. Always happens when i am not at that corner taking pics.LOL

Ah, that brings back memories of my spill down at Phillip Island. Damn expensive fix-up alright! Creamed both sides of my nice shiny bike and tumbled in the kitty litter for what seamed like and eternity. Managed to ride home but my back was pretty stuffed. :cry:

Your first photo is very nice. Which lens did you use the 80-400 or the Sigma 70-200?

the fastest way to turn a street bike into a race bike, wreck it at the track. Here (USA, CA) if you can prove you wrecked in a "driving" school or some sort of instructional class the insurance can not deny coverage. I have seen some $150,00 cars (think Lambo) totalled and covered. At least the first time!!!

Oh yeah, nice pre/post. Love the clay color!!
