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.

Last batch from the Zoo for now (and I've entirely skipped the snow leopards!).
I love the red-bellied black snakes. 2 of the 3 times I've been there, they've been quite active near the end of the day. Beautiful creatures to boot. Inquisitive yet a little menacing.
Crocodiles don't move very much, and neither did this one. Took two versions, one front-on, one slightly to the side. Not sure which one works better?
The sun was not in the best position, even if the croc pretty much was. This croc was pure menace. I got the feeling that even with the bars, and even with the mini moat, and even with me being behind a small concrete wall and it being maybe ten metres away it was still contemplating how best to make a meal of me should circumstances somehow change in its favour. Then again, I'm no animal psychologist. Perhaps this the creature's 'highly contented, and basking' expression.
Feedback and comments highly appreciated.

Love the snake, you should see these fellas when they slide past you on the garden path at home, they look very menacing. Agree about the light on the croc, the first one looks the best but you can't see his left eye which spoils the 'sizing up lunch' effect.

Black snakes are probably the best of a bad bunch of poisonous snakes,
I have been attacked by most breeds of them ( during my Army days)
and i found the black to be the least agressive
A friend of mine concurres he has one as a pet and reckons from his experience out of most Aussie snakes the black is the only one with the personality that can be tamed (his words !!) he handles it with no fear
great pics by the way
