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.

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.

Well Mic believe it or not I had 2 guys on the banks of the lagoon watching out and I was , excuse the expression, ball deep with a tripod in front of me. Got the shot and got out. That'll teach me to not have enough reach in my lenses. In retrospect it wasn't one of the smartest things I've ever done. Thankfully I now have an 80-400VR, on ya Birddog!
Thanks for the comments guys.
cheers

Second one is much better, I would probably have cropped a little more from the bottom to get rid of the out of focus bit.

Marco,

For some reason the pano crop version appears to have a little less snap to it. Did you tweak the contrast?

I find that in the cropped version the lower contrast in the lily shifts emphasis from the lily to the highlight on the water behind.

Cheers,

Phillip I think you'r right i cropped a little more off the bottom
Sheetshooter dead right I got so caught up cropping and posting forgot to tweak contrast and I did a little to colour balance. Sorry i have gotten rid of the original pano somehow. I have also been lazy and using the same jpeg image to make corrections and resave the same jpeg probably losing a bit of quality too. Not sure. I'm Reasonably new at the best posting methods.
thank you for the valuable comments.

Marco

jpeg artifacts aside, the pano crop is a decided improvement.

That last version is great, I think it was worth the effort to get wet.
