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.

Rooboy and I had a big day out.

On the way, Rooboy got to be part of Emma's contortionist show.

I like the last shot, well spotted! Pity the tower is cut off on the left. Nevertheless, I like it a lot.

Cheers
Steffen.

Seems like Emma is becoming a regular on the forum ;)

I really like the interesting bokeh with the fish shot, my guess is it is partially caused by the water ?

I like the idea in the third shot, but I don't think it quiet works, maybe it could be a little sharper ?

I like the last shot, but as steffan said getting the whole tower in would of been preferable.

Thanks Craig. I thought it was interesting too so i entered it in DP Challenge 'Bokeh'. Sure it won't do that well but it can't hurt.

Love the puffer fish and bokeh.

In the third one, i would crop the bottom off, so you just have their head and shoulders silouette showing against the water.

Love the last one as well.
