Normal & Nice

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.

Wow! Did you use a macro flash kit to shoot this? The shadow cast on the right side of the flower is unusual.

The composition is excellent IMO. Very sharp too!

Edit: By the way you have some really neat photos in your gallery there (presuming they are all yours). Keep up the good work, your lighting techniques are impressive.

Mic

Another excellent pic from you. Although I'd have liked a tighter crop on the right (too much of the green). But read my disclaimer below :wink:

Well Done Mic on another great shot. I always look forward to your posts as I dont think I have been let down yet. While shooting mainly motor sport (for now anyway) I always find your shots very interesting and enjoyable...
top effort that. Infact that could even be
"champange photography"

Thanks oli, :wink: I used SB800 on Remote / 105mm Micro Nikkor / 1/60th Sec / F 22.
I then saturated the red in Raw, added a bit of contrast, sharpened,
sized & wella.

All Images on my Website are my own babies, no one else's oli.

Thanks Stubbsy, :wink: Your input is always helpfull to my learning, even though I might not agree on some things.

Thanks Chris, :wink:

Thanks Oneputt, :wink: Always trying to surprise :roll:

Thanks Jonesy, :wink: Glad to see my flowers can win over a Motor Sport man.

Thanks Leek, yes have spray bottle, will travel. :D See top for pic specs.

Thanks B&S, :wink:

Thanks mudder, :wink:
