    i think you should diffuse your flash a bit more or bounce it. these photos have that very direct flash look that doesnt do them justice.

    I like 2 and 3 best no 1 IMHO seems to lack a point to draw the eye into the picture

    Hi there bhowdy,
    I think you got a little too close with your first shot,
    you need to back away a little sometimes.

    I like image number 3, and this is the sort of shot where STACKING would make an improvement.

    Have you seen Lord V's Stacking Tutorial yet by any chance ???

    You need to work on composure, but that will come with time as you learn more nod.gif your on the right path bhowdy, and you will get there thumb.gif

    Thanks for sharing .... Skippy :D

    Thanks for the comments about the flash Chrissiebeez_NL, it makes sense

    Skippy .... I have read Lord V's stacking tutorial and will give it a try ... learning as I go, and having a great time. Thanks for your help
