Watch out behind you!!!

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.

Unfortunately I only had the 70-300G on, but I'm hoping to find a 70-200VR floating around tomorrow ;)

Is it just one of life's cruel ironies that "Wendell" and "End Well" are made up of identical letters?

The wonders of perspective. What you don't see in this excellent image is the 1 metre of dry rock and 2 metres of wet rock on the platform behind me. Here's a shot taken from the same spot pointed AT the waves.

The interesting point in this series of photos is that the shots of Peter taking the photo are better than the shot Peter took :roll:

You don't think I'd waste my best shot by posting it here do you :shock: That will come when I PP tonight and show them in all their glory in a thread of their own :) . That said, I think the shots I do have would have been better with a person in and I really like Leon's image.
