Rat to go

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.

This is a black shouldered kite with a rat grasped in its claws for dinner, taken on dusk with all the wrong settings. I was actually taking shots of padlocks (don't ask) when this adult flew overhead - but didn't turn out toooooo badly :)

Thanks guys - couldn't believe it when I saw this bugger coming over - all I could think of is "How do they know when I either DON'T have a camera, or are totally unprepared!!!!!!" But was kind of pleased to have caught it none the less :)

the last time I saw a BSK, it came over me at around 8-10metres
but it was strongly backlit and I was unprepared. My flash was off also.

I would have got the worlds best bsk flight shot, full frame, razor sharp but a silhouette and next to useless. grrrrrrrr
I was running aperture priority and it effectively flew across the sun.
I had no choice, shoot or miss out.

havent seen one since. but thats nature photography for you.

Still a great shot

I had one hovering about 20ft in front of me on a cliff just eyeballing me. he hung there untill I had the camera out of the bag and the right lens on just as I lifted the camera he took off :-(

Always the way!!!
