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.

Looks like a ton of fun, although I sure wouldn't like to slip right about there! Could be painful :shock:
You have surely got to watch the spray around the watersports though. For a real test of the steady hand, try panning along with the skier on a slower shutter speed.
Good work

I'm not a happy camper but it's not your fault (I hope). Neither image showed for me so I right clicked and got a "one time only" advertisement flogging your image hosting service (filelodge) instead of your pic. I checked their TOS and they don't mention this, but do advise they don't tolerate people using their services for unsolicited spam (go figure)

I suggest you get a decent image hosting service that doesn't spam first time viewers (a few here seem to use the free imageshack.us)

As for the shots when I finally got to see them, both are good and have a nice feel of movement to them, but I'd like to see some panning shots too as Col suggests (I hate to think what happens if you come of your board onto one of those steeel pipes :shock: )

not really into panning. especially for action board sports. its more suited to sports where speed is the main goal, like motorsports. board sports are more about the level of difficulty and the style, so motion blur panning is never used. also wouldn't work too well with a fisheye because of the barrel distortion. but thanks for checking out the pics.

Stubbsy,

I got the same message as you, but hit refersh on the post and the images displayed fine.

As for the images. Love the first one, very nice. I'm waiting for the stack and the grand final video on "Funniest Home Video's"

Cheers
