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.

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.

Here are five of my 300+ images from this recent event in Melbourne,my dear wife made the comment that Hot Rod restoration is a much more expensive hobby than our photography,Hmmm not if i had the money i replied

This young fellow was around eight years old and followed me around for a while, he asked me ''are you getting any good pictures ?''
to which i replied ''i hope so'' i had a look at his lcd and he certainly knew what he was doing,are photographers getting younger or am i getting a lot older ???

Nothing to do with a mid life crisis :) Cobra's my pick as well.

You can tell your wife, at least you're not into photography AND hotrods :D

The hot rods are great and the pic of the little kid is priceless. Just look ahead 20 or 30 years and he will be driving a a Caddie conversion :) :)

Hi NB, top shots we have them sort of shows down here once a year, maybe not on the scale as that one but i dont go to cos i think it would be hard to get good shots with all the people around so well done.
Cheers

Some great shots, the Cobra is damn nice! But my pick of the shots is the little photographer and the story that went with it. (Did you catch which camera he was using?) I've noticed a lot more very small kids using expensive digital camera, I guess it's like mobile phones and everything else the kids are just getting younger and younger.
