spring time,,

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.

how do you get shots like that? I'm guessing its through practice, i tried numerous amounts of times with my macro lens to get shots like these, but i always find that the lens is only focusing on some parts of an object and the rest of the objects are always OOF.

Perfect example is the first shot, had i tried that, i'd probably only get the bottom leaf in focus and everything else will be OOF. I've tried manual focusing too and i just can't get it right :(

Very nice shots though, i too love the colours of the last shot.

Great shots Pall. Excellent use of DOF. My only criticism is that I not too fussed on the printing on the actual photo. Would prefer a clean photo with teh info underneath. :D

Terrific detail and lovely tones and colors... Great isolation of your subjects, and the EXIF is nicely done too...

Just clone out the tips coming in from the top left cnr in the first...

The third one is fascinating, these are all really nicely thought out and executed, very nicely done...

I'd suggest posting smaller images and link 'em to a larger one though...
