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.

These shots were all taken on the f90x
This first one was of an illy branded cafe that was shut - it was taken through the window. They didn't sell illy cups (I like illy cups)
This one is a dude on a bike - I wanted to practice the panning technique well explained on this site, however, this was the only shot I took of this dude.
This last shot was one of the first I took with the new macro filters.
I guess C&C is welcome, [edit] stuff it, C&C is very welcome. A photo is a photo is a photo - on film or CF, I want as much critical feedback as possible to help me improve the ratio of shot/keeper.

Thanks for sharing...
I find the first image quite striking. I think the contrast and rich colour gets my attention. I like it.
Sorry, but the second one doesn't do much for me. The cyclist looks good, but the background is too distracting for me. I'm no expert, but I think if the background was only slightly blurred (faster shutter speed?) it may be easier on the eye.
I'm not sure about the third one. I like it, but at the same time I don't, but can't quite put my finger on why. (I think my eye is looking for the piece of fruit in the centre of the shot to be in slightly sharper focus, but am not sure.)
Anyway, my two cents worth. I'm sure someone else with more of a clue than me will give you more informed feedback....
cheers,
Nat

Thanks for the feedback, Nat - Originally, I had asked one of the guys at the Rundle St illy branded cafe (up the east end) if I could take photos and he said no due to franchise issues.

#1 is great!!
I've got a couple of Illy cans here... maybe I should use this as inspiration  (to make another cup? as a photo idea?  )
edit: btw, what's your Flickr address?

G'day Daniel - thanks for the feedback.
I have a plan for a shoot using all my illy cups (30 at last count) which I hope to do soon.
