Jade plant
We had a fantastic sunset on Sunday evening, so wanted to capture our jade plant with the sunset in the background - unfortunately I couldn't frame it as well as I wanted as I was otherwise surrounded by architecture.
C&C appreciated.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935. Our mug is smug
Good isolation of subject (jade) from the background but unfortunately the direct harsh flash somewhat detracts from the general mood. Perhaps toning the flash down with a diffuser may have helped..
Was your subject the sunset or the plant? if it was the sunset you could have gone for a silhoutte..?
Thanks Surenj,
The subject was the jade plant, but trying to get some dramatic sunset background going. The actual sunset wasn't as dark as it appears, but I wanted to underexpose the background a little with a fast shutter speed and use the flash to maintain exposure on the jade plant. I accept your comment about the harsh flash, however, the rapidly fading sunset didn't permit too much time to set things up better. From memory, I was using about -2 FEC with TTL BL on the flash. Cheers P Regards, Patrick
