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.

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.

Went out to the AFL match between Western Bulldogs and the mighty Bloods on the weekend in Canberra. It's always nice going out to Manuka Oval (apart from when it is frickin' freezing). It's often a very casual feel, and it is MUCH easier to sneak down to the fence to take photos. Was a bit restricted though as I could only get a spot where a pole or a security person or one of the official photographers with his 1D Mk II and 400/4 were blocking 50% of my view.
Got a few decent ones whose curves were appropriately smashed into submission in Bibble as the shadows were pretty harsh that time of day....
Adam Goodes going for a trademark run down the wing
Micky O'Loughlin takes a good grab behind his opponent
Jude Bolton lays a tackle
Any thoughts, suggestions? These were all taken with the 70-200VR w/ 1.7TC. I find it doesn't focus quite as fast as the 70-200VR on its own, but still no slouch either. The extra length is nice to have though.

Good results and nice colours..given that you did not have free reign as to where you could position yourself the results are very good.

#1 is excellent, might be worth trying to pull a bit more detail from the shadows (on him, not so much the background). Nice work Des, would look great printed & hung alongside some premiership memorabilia
Off topic: 6 in a row!!!!!!!!!! Nice to be a game clear of the Swannies  So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Thanks guys! I realise that shooting sports is such a lottery.. So many things can combine to turn a potentially great shot into one that's not QUITE right. So it is always nice to come out of each shoot with at least 1-2 great shots.
Michael yes the Swans did win, by 43 points (big surprise to me, I was expecting quite a tough contest).
Pat and Kris, I admit I was thinking of you guys during the North / Sydney game. Same reason I hate Sydney / Geelong games.. Nothing worse than losing to your other half's team and having to endure the crap for the next 8 months

I don't know about anyone else but these shots look a bit flat on my screen. Seems like more contrast needed.
