    Long lenses make everything flat, compressed and that is well seen in the second picture.
    In it we find the small DOF, nice colors and composition.
    The 1.st shot made me smile because I think is is very ... cute ? funny ?

    benjamin, the last time someone quoted me they were carried off in a strapped vest by two guys wearing white uniforms, so watch yourself.
    nice captures!! You see if i used a flash, id probably have to 1st RTFM on how to use it and then I'd deal with more "stuff" in post processing and by the time i finished the next ice age would be at hand.....
    anyway, thanx for the name drop and for sharing the images!!!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I'm sure if you wanted to you'd get the hang of flash in short order.
