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.

This is my first image critique post. This is a photo I took quite a while ago, on a P&S, I have seen a number of photos with the same subject, some better, some not as good as mine to my eye, so this was my attempt. EXIF should be intact.

What do you think?

Jack!!
YOur first post! Well done.
I think for a P&S shot this is pretty good mate.
You can't really manipulate the P&S to the extremes that you can with an SLR and what you've achieved here is excellent given the camera you shot it with. I look forward to your posts when you own an SLR :)

Hi Jack, I was going to welcome you in the other thread, but thought I'd check out for photo! Nice job considering the tools you had at your disposal :) Good luck finding your desired camera body, and look forward to see more photo's from you!

Jack,

considering it was a ps camera not too bad at all.

What I was referring to in the other thread was what ps camera you presently have?

Cheers

Great P&S capture Jack, not an easy shot even with a DSLR (for me anyway)

Looking forward to your future posts.

Cheers

Promising start Jack - I reckon you could do some serious damage with a new D70S ;)

Wow, if that was a P&S I can't wait to see some of your stuff once you've got something you can control more... I'd have no hope of catching one of these tackers in flight, well done...
