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.

Hey Mark,
Not keen on the horizontal line through the bottom of the first one, I find it distracting, but really like the second one. Nice pic!

Nice images Mark #2 is the better. I would have moved slightly to the left to avoid the overlap of the 2 seed heads and also probably positioned them in a better compositional format offset so to speak.

Hi Mark,

I like the photos.
I like how you set the DOF, it really emphasises the object.
I do find some of the "stuff" in the back ground a little bit distracting
and that is something that may not be controlled easily.

Great photos,
CD

These don't do much for me at all. The second one could have been improved by moving a few centimetres to avoid the overlapping background.

Bring on the 4wd pics!

Thanks for the comments and advice folks. :D

There was a bit of a breeze so it was a matter of waiting for the grass to bend and grabbing the shot before it sprung back. I should have spent a bit more time on it in hindsight as there was quite a variety of different types of grasses and it might have made a nice series .

Thanks Mark, as I said in the other thread, you 4x4 shots are far superior in my opinion to your grass macros here. That is probably more of a reflection on the subject matter then your technique.
Thanks,
Craig
