This image isn't taken by me, it's taken by the Voyager 1 Spacecraft on Valentines Day in 1990 from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) from Earth.  It's actually part of a bigger picture that was taken of the entire system, and is the last picture taken by Voyager 1 (the sun burned the camera lenses in the process. The full image is too large to post here, but I will post a link to the image.  But here you go guys, your home, from 6 billion kilometers away:

 

 

 

Here is a link to the full sized image:  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Solar_System_Portrait_-_View_of_the_Sun%2C_Earth_and_Venus.jpg

 

I love this picture because it reminds me how ridiculous we can be sometimes when we get all bent out of shape over something, or when we look at ourselves as important, or if we are simply sad over a loved one's passing.  That .2 pixel dot is where all of humanity has taken place.  The best, the worse, the absolute of what every human in history has ever done, all of it took place on .2 pixels.

 

Kind of puts things in perspective huh?

well excuse me, it's removed

Its not exactly the point of this thread. The point is to show off your own images and to receive feedback on them to help improve.

I didn't tell you to remove your post. I asked you to read the OP and to rate the photo above, you could keep your post, I just wanted you to rate the person above's photo.

Wow, no one rating mine?

10/10 Because it's pretty

4/10, not much to say here but that the sun looks pretty cool. The rest is pretty horrible to be honest, just your regular mobile phone capture

 

 

 

There are three photos actually, here's the whole set: http://500px.com/Streamlines/sets/headphone_amplifier

8/10 I love the bulbs, 

 

 

heres my 1st post in this thread from getting my 600d around 2 hours ago, had to downscale a ton and I think I did it a little too much

5/10 It is quite blurred or the focus is not set right on the flower. You could have taken more time to get your shot set up. If you got shaky hands try using a tripod or increase shutter speed and always remember to get the shot in focus

 

Here is mine. Took a picture of a flower at church.

@Lil Chillbil

It's an ok photo, but remember not to cut parts of things off (like the side of the mouse), and watch out for those intruding objects (bottom left hand corner).

Nice photo, love how the sun almost intrudes into the foreground 8/10

 

I am going to be posting in this thread a lot as I just got my dslr and i'm still a bit trigger happy

5/10.

 

The multicolored fur is the only thing this picture has going for it; it could be much improved if the cat's face was in the view and in focus, that way the photo would contain something. As it is, half the fur doesn't appear to be in focus, and the way the picture is taken makes it hard to see what it's even of. It would be nearly impossible to tell what the animal was without the ear, and the stray strands of shed fur also detract from the color of the photo, because they mix the light with the contrast of the brown fur.

9/10 That is one epic shot! I would never have been able to take a shot like that partly because of my phobia of bees.

 

Here is another flower I took a picture of at church.

7/10 I like the contrast between the flowers & the brick and mortar, but find the white table distracting.

 

Since we seem to be on a roll with flowers, I guess I'll post (an older) one myself.

Hmm, you've got a mighty interesting photo there.

 

I want to rate it high, because I know you aren't going to get any pictures better than that in a scenario like that; the inside of a flower just isn't big enough to get everything in focus satisfactorily, and for that reason I think it should get an "as good as it can be" rating.

 

On the other hand, the content is mostly down to personal preference--while I think it's pretty neat, others probably find it disorienting or just plain weird.

 

I'm going to give you a nice ambiguous 7/10 and say I wish that there was an unobstructed view of the yellow inner part, because that would improve the picture a great deal.

8/10, the petal in the middle kind of spoils the photo.

 

That night the street lights were not working, so I had to take the opportunity:

Whoa awesome picture! So clear. Did you use a tripod to keep the camera steady and a remote shutter?

 

I also like taking night pictures but the tripod I have is wobbly.

 

Here is another flower picture I took.

I think this is a great picture, 9/10.

 

The only improvements I could think of would be getting more contrast in the background; while there's a good bit there I don't like the brick wall, and you might improve the picture by moving the flower a tiny tiny bit off-center and getting something else to the side of it.

Yes, a cheap Hama tripod, no remote though. 

Edit: Also, the most important thing about night shots is post production in Photoshop or other photo manipulation software that can work with RAW format. The picture I posted last actually has three different layers that have different exposures, different color tones and different saturations.

For me the last visible picture was the one posted by fracking4oil here:

Wow that's pretty cool, I don't really do much photography so I don't have anything technical to say but it thought of looks like a Walrus!

[dklhs90]

Wow awesome picture! Must have been hard to capture it in the moment. Slightly blurry but it is a Jet you are trying to capture in a still photo. So, well done!

 

Here is a bee picture I took from afar.

@dklhs90

8/10, good shot, abit grainy (cropping? High ISO?), but I like it

 

Ended up re-editing this one, I think it looks better.
