Updated - Stubbsy's Micro meet pics

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Great pics Peter. The 'Lest We Forget' image is my fave.

I agree Peter, the ”Lest we forget” is just so emotive and an excellent capture.

"Lest we forget " is a very strong image, made me think about the fact that I was rather involved at work and missed the 11h 11d 11m bit. :oops:
Peter thanks for reminding me. I have family that I lost in combat (never new most) and friends and family who I have lost as a result of doing there bit and I regret that I forgot the day. Thanks again for the reminder.

Come one Matt, don't leave us in suspense... and remember don't throw away those rejects, revisit them in a couple of months, with fresh eyes a few more keepers might be exposed.

Hi Peter

great to see you got such a wonderful response with your micro meet, it's nice to see so many people enjoying thier hobby and passion and taking the time to share in each others comapny.
I think in groups people work better constantly feeding of each others input and creativity. Wish i was there.

Anyway i like 2 and 3 the best, number 2 shows your keen eye and sense absolute symmetry. Number 3 has a great concept with the silhouettes juxtaposing such a meaningful cornerstone of our country's history.

All good, but for me no 3 is brilliant. Very poignant. :D

No other candids of the veterans worth sharing since I didn't have a long enough lens :cry: (left the 70-200 VR behind to save weight)
