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.

Kerry, i love them both wow it must be nice to have somewhere to go and take all these wonderful shots you present to us as usual. I wish we had a Zoo close by and we have a wildlife park but all you see is a couple of emu's and some kangaroo's. Spose to be some Koala's but eventime i have tried to look for any i think they go into hiding.
Well done mate.

Thanks for all of the kind comments, guys. They're appreciated. :D

BBJ: I've been to 5 different zoos, from Washington DC to Chicago and a couple in between. :) But, I do have 2 zoos in the general vicinity, one here in Detroit about 15 miles from my home, and one in Toledo, Ohio, about 55 miles away. 8)

I'll be hitting the close ones again in the near future, as soon as the temperatures get down to more reasonable levels, prolly in September.

hmmm, good question. I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it lately, so I guess it must have been put out. :?

BBJ, being in Mt Gambier, I'm sure you're a stones throw from places that have Brown Falcons, Black Falcons, Nankeen Kestrels, Black Shouldered Kites, Peregrin Falcons, Wedge Tail Eagles and all the other fauna that habitat the areas around there.

Thanks again for the kind comments. :D

Mudder: I don't recall a lot of the specifics of the eagle shot, so can't say why it's in landscape. :(
