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.

Tea Gardens - Hawks Nest - Myall Lakes outing

Hi,

I had a great time on Saturday, thanks Birddog for the fabulous organisation, thanks to Paul for driving.

We were treated to a wonderful day, blue skies, great clouds, lots of birds. Here are a few to get it started. Got a few more to PP, but wanted to post something before it got too late.

Dune at Hawks Nest.

At Mungo Brush camp, this kookaburra was not bothered at all by me being on the ground about 2 metres in front of him. Being in the campground, it would be used to us humans.

More to come, C&C always welcomed.

André

Three interesting and diverse pics, but for me #1 is the standout for it's simplicty and wonderful colour contrasts.

Edit: #3 seems a little flat in terms of both colour and contrast.

thanks Peter, I like #1 too, going to do some more work on the third, I've got a similiar one that may come out better, I'll see. Initially a quick jpeg conversion came out better the the PP'ed one, so need to sort it out.

Cheers,

André

radar,
I love # 1, and the rest of two are beautiful.
Glad you had enjoyed the trip same as we enjoyed both your & Mariola's company at the dinner.
Finally, we had a good time.
Pls. note: Next one for us is the Barrington Tops trip in March as said, I'll be driving up there on Thursday this week to find some good spots for us.

Wow Andre' :!:

I like all 3 in all honesty. I think the 3rd as I said would be awesome at a different time of day. I think it is an excellent location for a sunset if you can have some dramatic clouds.

I can't see anything Andre - the links aren't in the form we use here, and cutting and pasting them into the browser doesn't work either. Clearly, others can see them. Any ideas?

Hi Greg,

Do you have HTML enabled in your profile? Due to the gallery software setup that I have, the [IMG] tag does not work with my images, so I just type the raw HTML in my post.

That's the direct link to the images:

Let me know if that works,

André
