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.

First post, first field shoot with my D70 and 70-210 lens, first public display of my shooting skill??
I needed to clean it up in PS with some sharpening and H&S work. No crop required so I managed to get my boy within the frame pretty well.
One thing I learnt during this outing is to ensure the focus lock is on. 
I normally film downhill mountainbike racing. After many hours of filming its now lost its appeal. The occasional photo I took somehow gave me more pleasure. I think partly because its easier to share a photo and its more "immeadiate".
Anyway, I can see I'll need to practice tracking and exposure skills.
Cheers A professional amateur.

That's some hardcore leaning  Ahh finally another person on this forum who takes pics of MTB races...dammit I'm no longer unique   
It's nice and sharp for a first go. I'd suggest keeping an eye out for the best angle to portray the action.
I'd also suggest looking at the photos in the MTB mags to get some ideas. I've posted my MTB photos on the forum before. Feel free to have a look if you want.

That is a good first post GDH. Quite an unusual angle - looks like he is about to fall off.  Be really cool if the glare off the goggles wasnt there so you could clearly see the concentration on the rider's face.
Post up some more if you have em.

Terrific action shot - did the rider stay upright?
Love the avatar, too.

Hidded from view is a "burm", bank which helps them get around corners at these angles. He came into it from the RHS of the shot. Yes he stayed on
