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.

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.

Thanks for good comment.

I think that all of us have a dream to be Capa.
Lucky this time I don't need to go to Iraq and just walk out of my home to take this series. :lol: :lol:

Ciao Jeko70,
I show my respect to you.
We expect G8 will be held in Sydney and our forum
members will be surely excited about it.

this is quality work mr poon
i like marsh road the best you captured the moment with artistic flair which further drives the point of the protest, you shoudl be proud with this monumental and bold work.

May i ask how you got so close were you part of a press core or something?
Iam sure other members of public wouldn't of got nowhere near the action

You did an awesome job on the coverage!
Personally, looking at where you had to place yourself for some of those shots, I think your a little nuts myself but thats to my benefit because I get to see your results so I'm not complaining! :wink:
