A couple of friends having dinner yesterday

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.

That caterpillar is ugly and beautiful at the same time. Amazing colours. I bet that spider is worried.

Having tried my hand at some macro work, I can appreciate how difficult it must be to get this - it's almost a posed shot! Well done!

Thanks guys. 8)

We lost power for about 4hrs late yesterday, so I was wandering the garden. Spied these guys so raced inside to get my gear .. 20D battery was almost flat, flash batteries were almost flat (hadn't charged since coming back from WA) and no power to charge anything! Had enough juice for a few shots.

Great macro stuff, well spotted. It always amazes me how the world of the small takes on a new meaning when viewed up close like this...

Great image Dion nice work with the pointed focus (lovely sharp detail where it counts) - the spider is probably thinking feast for a year rather than meal :lol:
cheers

Great colours on the caterpillar (reminds me of monsters from Dr Who) , lucky you had enough juice left in the batteries to capture this.
