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.

Seeing big pix' lizard reminded me that I took one a while ago.
I was out bushwalking and came upon this water dragon sunning himself.
I had the 300mm kit lens on and was able to crawl along a creek bed to get below him. I kept shooting as I got closer and the posted shot is the last one I took before I tried to move the grass out of the way. At that stage he had enough of me and took off. I was going to clone the grass out of the right hand side, but this is exactly as shot.

Seems like you went to a lot of work to get the shot, which is pretty cool, IMO. It's a little dark on my monitor, FWIW. I wouldn't fuss with cloning out the grass. :)

actually the thing near his mouth is like a whisker, they all seem to have those.
also the red stuff on his chest is apparently on males only, and then only during breeding season.
The first one of these I ever saw, I thought he was injured.

lizards are interesting subjects - remove the grass - it is a distraction unless the grass was dense - well done
