weekend away

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.

Good shots! I really like the cockatoo and the shallow depth of field but stil good detail on the bird and his comb, what lens and exposure did you use?

Excellent comp on the cockatoo.

The waterfall one is nice, but there's just something missing that I can't place my finger on, I feel.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Great capture on the cockatoo. Excellent isolation of the subject.

Dion, what's missing are the canoes, and the banjo music :)

Poon, Thnak you i'm i'm very glad you like it :)

LostDingo, That was with the 70-300 G wide open at 300 so F5.6 and 1/500 it is a fair bit sharper in the origional too. the ol' 70-300 isn't all bad ;)


DionM I agree with you on the waterfall one there is something missing i feel like the location deservs another visit because in the rain i didn't really explore it to it's fullest but rather took some relativly stock shots.

Im a sucker for "moving water" pics...and this is a great example. However, IMHO, I find the shot to almost be divided into two parts which is slightly off putting. The main falls in the background kinda detract from the stream in the foreground. I think there are two seperate pics here...but hey, its a great shot and Im just being picky :)
