Pretty sharp for a crop Greg. Good effort at speed.

Good shutter speed but slight blur on the pan, damn good effort though.

G'day Greg

One might say that as a species us photographers are a mob of nit-pickers aren't we
One might otherwise say 'that's a damn fine image you've got there - beaut and sharp and definitely a keeper'

That's a great catch Greg, perfect timing.

I hope Greg agrees that any "nit-picking" is not just criticism for the sake of it. This is a photography forum after all. If all we ever posted was 100% perfect work then there would be no need to post here. Just hold exhibitions.
I don't know about everyone else but the main reason I'm here is to improve my craft. Sure a pat on the back is nice and definitely appreciated but that's not why I'm here. For me, bring on the nit-picking.

I welcome any comments, but I’ll have a say too if I disagree with what’s said. Discussion is what a forum is about and while I appreciate positive feedback, I’m always interested if someone doesn’t see things the way I do and get the reasons why. I’ve learned heaps from posting, commenting and asking questions. For me the worst thing is to go to quite a bit of trouble in getting a ‘hard to capture’ shot and get no response at all.

Glad to hear it Greg. Discussion is absolutely what a forum is about. Otherwise I'd just hang out on Instagram.

Fine work Greg. Any BIF is always appreciated by moi! Only nit pic is flip it horizontally as we of the western world see things left to right. I suppose it's not really a nit pic, it's just a preference. Left or right, it's still a good BIF shot.

Got to have a few coming as well as going! 😏
