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.

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.

I use a penlight to let me see the toad and not spook it, it gives me just enuf light to manually focus (i always manual focus on Macro) and then its flashed up with the sb800 with the diffuser fitted.. and get as low to the ground as possible without sinking my head into the mud or getting the camera wet and muddy.. shooting at f22 and 100th shutter speed.. SB800 on TTL...

They're hideous!! (The toads, I mean - the photos are great)

Actually, you've done a really good job at making them look quite noble, especially in the second shot.

Now kill them. Kill them ALL.

Ever played with bubble wrap?? you get the fun of making it go pop.. and squeezing them so they make a louder noise.....

Toads are the same.. they go pop when ya hit em.. unfortunately.. if ya dont run over them clean... they have a nasty habit of being able to swallow there guts and keep on going...

Scary init? frogs and toads have the ability to regurgitate there stomachs to get rig of things they cant digest or dont like.. unfortunately it makes toads hard to kill because someones when you run over them, they spit there guts up and look dead, they arent, they just getup, swallow there guts and keep on jumpin along

 PS If you are hitting them with anything wear safety glasses, as the poison glands can squirt and it can do some real damage if it hits your face.
