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.

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.

Richards pipit. 80-400 @400 handheld
weather has been lousy lately around here whenever I get some to go out taking pix.
Got this today between rain showers.
Actually went out after finches but didnt even see one. The wind and the rain keeps them away.
I had not seen one of these before. apparently they spend a lot of time on the ground and you can kinda see why they are hard to see.
unfortunately I couldnt get close and this is fairly heavily cropped. When I see something new I try to get some sort of shot so that I can look it up.
Wasn't going to post it, but I have nothing else to post about now.

Not normally a big fan of small bird shots, but this one has been done really nicely. Is this with the Nikkor 80-400 VR? Great bokeh too.

yes taro, this was taken with the 80-400vr
I quite like taking photos of birds, makes a change from working on computers.
I only took this for id at the time but it kinda grows on me so I posted it.
Besides, it was the only shot I took before it rained!!

the 80-400 works ok. The SB800 gave it a little catch light also.
(thanks Birdy)
the drawbacks I have mentioned before. Slow AF speed being the worst. Makes it not that easy for flight shots although they can be gotten if you can see the target flying straight for enought time to lock up.
Is ok if they hold still though!!
