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.

#2 is a ripper shot and especially with all the togs on the wall goin' for the same shot :) But I'm guessing you're the only one with a view from the back?


I tried commenting on it in the gallery section, but couldn't embed the image :(

Just did a test, it worked :)

I was copying the URL, but the right click 'copy image address' worked a treat.

Cheers.

2 is the clear standout, amazing shot!!! :up:

Some critique: in 3, it seems the grill and front of the car (especially the numberplate) is a bit soft as is the rear of the car, but the bonnet is tack sharp. Might need a bit more DOF? Similar thing in 1 too (grill is much sharper than the rest). 4 doesn't do a lot for me on its own, needs more smoke/fire/tyre ripples/wheelstands/dragons/etc I think.

Nice work Kyle!

Hopefully I'll make it out for the 13th! Depends on work :(

Guys,

I'd love to meet up with you all out at the rescheduled Jamboree, but I'll be in Tassie recovering from a week of shooting an AFL comp down there.

I might have to do something about getting out there next year.

Cheers

Simon PS. Kyle. Definitely love #2. The others are all good as well. What were you using for these particular shots?
