Gotta love this face

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.

The face is quite cute but bats are dirty disease-ridden critters. Shudder. Good find though. Was it being noisy? Wish my girlfriend would be my flash light assistant. Lucky you!

NO !!!!!! Shall I put on my greenie hat???? They are intelligent, social and VITAL for the pollination and germination of countless numbers of Australian trees - especially in rainforest environments....
Sorry.... I'll step away from the keyboard.
take a breath....
ok, sorry, but they are actually a pretty important part of the environment - forgive me for my ranting?

And as for flash assistant, ask nicely ;)

Thanks again
Rel

Hey Kevin - thanks for commenting :) I probably lightened it a little too much for the forum... this is the original :)

Edit - Kevin fixed the shot for me :) (Man, but he is good :wink: )

Great shot, Rel. In the last few days a couple of bats have taken up residence in a tree outside my bedroom window. They are fairly noisy with their sqeaking. Sounds like domestic arguments going on between them.

I didnt know that about the polination aspect of the bats Rel, bats are indeed remarkable and important animals. However, they still give me the heebie jeebies.

It probably stems from a friend at work who did a lot of study on the Australian Bat Lyssa virus in Queensland and the stories about bat diseases he told me.

Sorry to come down on them 8)
