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.

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.

Great images. I especially like the last one. Reminds me of my time at the golf course. :) Did you try some slower shutter speeds as well?

The third one for me, the intense look of concentration on his face is fantastic. The bow of the shaft of the club and the cording of the muscles in the forearm. It just all goes to show how hard people work to make it look so easy at times...

Shot with the 70-200 VR.

All were ISO100 and f/2.8.

I think the shutter speeds where around 1/1000. Some of the early shots where a little bit less, but that brought out a bit too much motion blur.
