Christmas Greetings from the UK

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.

A Christmassy image to wish you all a great day... We have a few more hours to go over here, but the tension is building...

Sorry about the quality of this image, but it's a small crop from a photo taken with the 105mm lens... This was one of the times when I wish that I'd packed my 80-400 :lol:

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!
Cheers, John

You mean there's a perfectly good 80-400 just 10 minutes from my place not being used?!

Merry Christmas John to you and the fam.

I definitely will be down for a minimeet sometime soon so we'll catch up then.

Enjoy that beautiful cold weather! 38 expected in Brissy today and while other areas may actually be warmer, the humidity here will be unbearable.

Love the bird shot! I got a little Chrissy present this morning around 5.00am when two juvenile Brown Goshawks visited my front yard gum tree and hung around just long enough for me to completely stuff up a dozen or so shots with that bloody 70-300G lens. Never seen them around here before but I couldn't get myself positioned well enough to take advantage of the opportunity. Not one keeper. 80-400 here I come!!!!! :twisted:

Catch you soon mate.

:)

Report from Boat Harbour:
27 degree, nice weather and crystal cleared blue water over "our private beach".
The fridge was refilled with nice cold James Boag's Premium and Grolsch.
Enjoyed!!!!
